Snickerdoodle Cookies {with Coconut Oil}

This recipe was originally published on February 3rd 2015.

We have been getting buried with snow here in Massachusetts over the past two weeks. The blizzard dumped about 33 inches on us and yesterdays storm added another foot!  What does one do when you’re buried in snow? Make Snickerdoodle Cookies of course!

My daughter and I thought we’d try making one of her favorite cookies, lactose intolerant friendly by replacing the butter with coconut oil. It was the perfect substitute and I’d make them this way even if she could eat dairy!

Snickerdoodle Cookies with Coconut Oil

How to make Dairy Free Snickerdoodle Cookies

My daughter and I thought we’d try making one of her favorite cookies, lactose intolerant friendly by replacing the butter with coconut oil. It was the perfect substitute and I’d make them this way even if she could eat dairy!

Even though these cookies do not contain any butter they still  have a buttery flavor and the sweet sugary cinnamon coating is absolutely delightful!  One thing is for sure.  You won’t miss the butter.  They are totally delicious and will melt in your mouth!

What’s the difference between a Sugar Cookie and a Snickerdoodle Cookie?

There’s one main ingredient that separates a plain ole Sugar Cookie from a melt in your mouth Snickerdoodle Cookie. Cream of Tartar. What is Cream of Tartar? It’s the secret ingredient that gives your Snickerdoodle that distinctive tangy flavor and delicious chewy texture. It’s what prevents the sugar in your cookie from crystalizing and becoming crunchy. Click here for more ways to use Cream of Tartar in your baking!

    Oh yum, these look great! I love how you’ve used coconut oil instead of butter (it does make a great replacement in baking)! But – I think your recipe plugin may not be working, I cannot view the recipe 🙁

      I know. I’m sorry Kyra. My site was being worked on yesterday and it looks like he forgot to fix that. Email has been sent to my IT guy so hopefully he gets it fixed soon. So sorry.

    I just found your recipe and could not be happier! My husband, who is super picky especially when it comes to using alternative ingedients with baking, said these were by far the best “alternative” cookies he has tasted yet. And snickerdoodles are his favorite cookies so it was a huge compliment knowing he actually liked these! Thank you!!

      I’m so glad he liked them Rebekah! I agree with him. I think they taste juste as good as if they had butter added. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!
