Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar (divided, with 2 tsp reserved for coating)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon (divided, with 1 tsp reserved for coating)
- ½ tsp cream of tartar
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the room temperature butter, granulated sugar (except 2 teaspoons reserved), brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the almond flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, cream of tartar, and salt into the wet ingredients. Stir until the dough forms a consistent, well-mixed batter.
- Form Dough Balls: Using a tablespoon measuring spoon, portion the dough and use your hands to roll each portion into a small ball. Set these dough bites aside on a plate.
- Prepare Coating: On a separate plate, mix the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with the reserved 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar to make the coating mixture.
- Coat Dough Bites: Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Chill and Store: Place the coated snickerdoodle bites in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. This helps them firm up and enhances the flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature to make mixing easier and achieve a smooth dough texture.
- Almond flour adds a subtle nutty flavor and makes these bites gluten-free.
- The cream of tartar helps to mimic the tangy flavor and texture of traditional snickerdoodles.
- Refrigeration is necessary to allow the bites to firm up; serve chilled or at room temperature.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
