Snickerdoodle Cookies (Dairy, Egg & Nut Free)

Preheat oven to 400 F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine margarine and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and applesauce. Beat until thoroughly combined. Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Mix until dough comes together and no flour is visible.

In a small bowl, prepare cinnamon sugar mixture. Using a small cookie scoop, drop dough into the cinnamon sugar two at a time and roll until well covered. Place on the prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the centre looks like it’s barely done.

If you like them crunchy, leave them in the oven for an extra minute.
