These Oatmeal Snickerdoodle Cookies are super chewy and full of cinnamon flavor. They require basic ingredients and are simple to make.
Oatmeal cookies are my absolute favorite. I love the flavor and the chew that rolled oats lend. And this recipe yields cookies that are soft, yet chewy and full of cinnamon flavor. And they are rolled in a traditional snickerdoodle cinnamon sugar mixture giving them even more flavor.
Ingredients
Vegan Butter: I always recommend Soy-Free Earth Balance. Its what I use in 95% of my baking.
Sugar: Regular granulated sugar
Molasses: For that brown sugar flavor.
Flax Egg: A combination of ground flax and water makes a gelatinous mixture that can be used like egg in baked goods.
Vanilla: For background flavor.
Rolled Oats: Old fashioned rolled oats, please.
Flour: Regular all purpose flour.
Cinnamon: For flavor.
Salt: For balance.
Leaveners: To help the cookies rise and spread.
Instructions
This Oatmeal Snickerdoodle Cookies recipe uses a simple creaming method.
First, mix the flax egg and set aside and also mix the rolling sugar and set aside.
Then, cream the butter, sugar and molasses together.
Add the flax egg and mix well.
Next, add all of the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
Now, scoop the cookies one at a time directly into the cinnamon sugar mixture and toss to coat.
Then, repeat that with 8 or so more dough balls, spacing them evenly on a cookie sheet.
And bake!
