Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup + 2 tsp. granulated sugar, divided
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon, divided
  • ½ tsp. cream of tartar
  • ¼ tsp. salt

Coating Mixture

  • 2 tsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and fluffy. Gradually add in the almond flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, cream of tartar, and salt, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
  2. Shape the Dough Bites: Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop out portions of the dough. Roll each portion between your hands to form small, uniform balls. Set the rolled dough bites aside on a clean surface.
  3. Coat the Dough Bites: On a plate, mix together the remaining 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Roll each dough ball thoroughly in this cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly, giving them their signature snickerdoodle touch.
  4. Chill: Place the coated snickerdoodle bites into an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. Chilling firms up the bites and enhances the flavor.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature to ensure easy mixing and a smooth dough.
  • You can store the snickerdoodle bites in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Optional: For extra sweetness, sprinkle a little more cinnamon sugar on top before serving.
