Snickerdoodle cookies bring about the biggest smiles. These are no exception. Plus, they are filled with protein, fiber, and are easy on the sugar content.
Happy August, my friends! Can you believe we are in the eighth month of the year already? It seems to just go so fast! This month I am showcasing cookie recipes to please even the most picky cookie connoisseur.
I want to start this month off with a classic that I lean on in many potluck situations because it is such a crowd pleaser cookie. The Snickerdoodle cookie is a perfect balance of sweet and cinnamon with a touch of salt added for complexity.
I like to bring these cookies and a treat in the office with my co-workers. I like bringing these cookies to share with the athletes that I coach. These cookies are so soft, chewy, and delicious. They are a perfect afternoon snack or after dinner dessert.
I use a mix of almond flour, flaxseed, and vanilla protein powder to produce a soft, fluffy, cookie. My kiddos love the cookies, my husband loves the cookies, they are so tasty!
What I also love about these cookies is how transportable they are as well. Sometimes, you get these soft, chewy cookies but they are impossible to hold in your hand because they just fall apart. Sometimes you get cookies that are easy to hold but they are stiff and crunchy and hard as rocks so they are not enjoyable. These snickerdoodle cookies are the perfect balance of soft, chewy, easy to handle, and so satisfying.
I encourage you to give this recipe a try and bring them to your next potluck, or enjoy them throughout the week with your family as dessert.
