  • Pro Tips

    Here are some pro tips to help you make perfect vegan snickerdoodles.
    • Take the butter out of the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature. Don't soften it in the microwave because the temperature of the butter won't be consistent.
    • Don't skip the cream of tartar and baking soda. These will ensure that the cookies are soft and puffy.
    • Let the oven fully preheat to 350°F (176°C) before baking the cookies.
    • Allow the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. This will prevent them from cracking and falling apart.
