Share
Soft, chewy, and coated in Jaca cinnamon-sugar — these classic snickerdoodles get their signature crackly tops from cream of tartar. All the warm, cozy flavor with zero sugar.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 cups Jaca sugar (replaces 1 cup sugar at 2x ratio)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 4 tablespoons Jaca sugar for coating (replaces 2 Tbsp sugar at 2x ratio)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Cream the softened butter and 2 cups Jaca sugar until light and fluffy, about 5–7 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Gradually mix into the creamed mixture.
- Combine 4 Tbsp Jaca sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll each in the Jaca cinnamon-sugar coating.
- Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are light golden brown.
- Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
