Gluten Free Snickerdoodles















Requested by the boyfriend: Snickerdoodles.

The little brother came in amongst the baking of these and chex mix and immediately went into scrounge mode. Thankfully there was some banana bread and popcorn left over to keep him off of (most of) the cookies. I tell you what, that's the best compliment there is.

Anyways, snickerdoodles.

1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
1 1/4 c. plus 2 T flour mix (this one was a hodgepodge)
1/4 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1 t. xanthan gum
1/2 t. salt
2 T water
~~~~
2 T sugar
1/2 t. cinnamon

Cream butter & sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Mix. Add dry ingredients and mix. The dough is very sticky so work with wet hands. Roll into small teaspoon-ish sized balls, then roll that in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Put them on a greased cookie sheet and flatten them out a bit. Bake at 350 for just about 10 minutes, until they're set in the middle and cookie-like. They are delicious.
