    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!

    Storage

    Once cooled, transfer these Oatmeal Snickerdoodle Cookies to an airtight container.

    Leave them at room temperature for up to four days.

    Or freeze for up to a month.

    Top Recipe Tip and Substitutions

    Be sure to use rolled oats for this recipe. Quick oats will change the texture of the cookies.

    If you don't have molasses, you can substitute dark brown sugar for the white sugar in this recipe.
