SWEET LAUREL BAKERY GF SNICKERDOODLES

I came across this recipe on the Sweet Laurel Bakery blog last year and I've been making these cookies almost weekly since. For almost 10 years, I have been completely gluten-free, so finding and creating recipes for gf baked goods that actually taste good is incredibly fulfilling. These cookies are so simple and easy to make. They're also nutrient dense, full of protein, and high in fiber. My clients kids love them too. Check out this fantastic recipe!

L | Growing up, my brothers (I had 5 of them) LOVED snickerdoodles. They are a fun alternative to the classic chocolate chip cookie. They are also laden with cinnamon, a superfood we love to include in our baked goods whenever we can. I hope you enjoy these snickerdoodles as much as I do!
