Lectin Free Snickerdoodle Cookies – Low Carb, Plant Paradox Compliant
I’ve also been craving snickerdoodle cookies.
And while this was a cookie I made fairly often in years past, I am no longer interested in the ingredients that I would commonly use. I’ve found that my body doesn’t feel great when I eat gluten and refined sugar, so I’ve been updating my favorites into new lectin free recipes!
And I’m very excited to share these lectin free snickerdoodle cookies with you! They definitely hit the spot for me and I know you will enjoy them, too.
Lectin Free Snickerdoodle Cookies – A Few Quick Notes
This recipe calls for almond flour. Please note that almond FLOUR is not the same as almond MEAL. Almond flour is made from blanched almonds that have a superfine grind. Different brands vary in texture and may not perform the same in a recipe. I personally love and use Anthony’s almond flour.
I also used Lakanto Golden in this recipe. This is my favorite monkfruit based substitute for brown sugar.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 4 tbl Lakanto Golden
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- pinch salt
- 2 cups almond flour
Cinnamon Sugar mix
- 2 tbl Lakanto Golden
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream together butter and Lakanto Golden.
- Add vanilla, egg, salt and almond flour and mix together until well incorporated.
- Portion out into small balls of dough. I used a tablespoon to measure out my dough but you can also use a small ice cream scoop. I like to keep my cookies small.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together Lakanto golden and cinnamon. Roll each ball of dough in the mixture and place on baking tray.
- Bake until the bottoms of the cookies are just beginning to brown, about 12-13 minutes.
- Cool on cooling rack and enjoy!
