no refined sugar paleo snickerdoodles

The other day I was seriously craving some snickerdoodles, most likely from scrolling through Instagram and seeing other pictures of cookies, something I’ve been doing pretty often this pregnancy😆 I had an idea for a recipe I thought might hit the spot with what we had available in our cupboard. So I whipped these guys up and it was a one and done recipe, they are that good! If you’ve ever created and tested your own recipes, you KNOW this is rare and something to be celebrated!🎉

These cookies are soft in the middle and perfectly chewy around the edges with the slightest crisp…soooo goooood. And if you eat them while they’re still hot they taste like a gooey cinnamon roll! I imagine they would be AMAZING used for ice cream sandwiches, but so far there have been zero leftovers to try it out🤣

Paleo Snickerdoodle Ingredients:

  • Justin’s Maple Cashew Butter– This ingredient is KEY and I have not tried subbing it with anything else, I just know it wouldn’t be as good! I linked directly to their site since I couldn’t find it on Amazon.
  • Sweetener- I used 1/2 cup coconut sugar + 1/4 cup honey, I love this combo but if you don’t have honey you might be able to get away with all coconut sugar…just don’t use all honey.
  • Cassava flour- I haven’t tested anything other than this flour, we loved them so much we didn’t want to change the recipe. However, I know this flour is pretty spendy and if you aren’t grain free, the next thing I might try would be oat flour, and that way they would still be gluten free as well.
