Kerrygold Snickerdoodle Cookies (GF)

What makes these cookies extra unique? I use Kerrygold butter and that makes the cookies so scrumptious.

Ingredients
  

For Cookies:

  • cups gluten-free flour like Cup4Cup
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup 2 sticks Kerrygold butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For Rolling:

  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl.
  • In large bowl, whisk melted butter with both sugars until smooth. Let cool 3 minutes.
  • Whisk in eggs and vanilla until combined.
  • Fold in flour mixture until just combined. Don't overmix.
  • Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes until firm enough to handle.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix cinnamon and sugar for rolling in small bowl.
  • Scoop dough into ¼ cup portions (about 3 ounces each). Roll into balls.
  • Roll each ball in cinnamon-sugar, coating completely.
  • Place 6 cookies per sheet, spacing 4 inches apart (they spread a lot).
  • Bake for 8 minutes. Remove and lift pan 4-6 inches off counter, then bang down firmly. Cookies will deflate.
  • Return to oven for 3 minutes. Remove and bang pan again.
  • Repeat baking 3 minutes and banging 2-3 more times (16-18 minutes total) until cookies have rippled edges and golden centers.
  • Let cookies cool completely on pan - they'll be very soft until cooled.

Notes

The pan-bang creates signature ripples and crispy-chewy texture
Cookies spread to 4-5 inches wide - don't crowd them
Bang firmly but controlled - you want deflation, not flying cookies
These are intentionally flat, not puffy like traditional snickerdoodles
Best eaten day-of for optimal texture contrast
