Tried making these, they taste fantastic but needed more flour. The batter consistency was too sticky and runny even after chilling, I found adding half a cup more flour and then freezing the batter for an hour helped make it easier to handle and roll the batter into small balls. 🙂 so genius using Apple sauce they taste so much better than the non vegan snickerdoodles!

If I wanted to use bananas instead of applesauce, how much should I use? Thanks!

Hey! Intermediate chef, but amateur to vegan foods here. #1 THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE.
I just had to make 200 pink vegan snickerdoodles for my work BCA event I’m hosting on Tuesday, and they turned out fabulous. A couple notes:

I made this in 4 sets of 2 batches. Each double-batch needed a full additional cup of flour, it was basically paste without it and totally unrollable. Probably could have handled an additional 1/2 cup without becoming tough.

12 minutes was the sweet spot in my gas oven at 375, not underdone, came out beautifully cakey.

Thought it could use a little more cinnamon in the dough itself, even though I used cinnamon applesauce.

Made about 200 cookies in effectively 8 batches, likely because of the additional flour volume.

In reply to Jules. Were you using packed flour? I tried this recipe and it was very wet and not at all like cookie dough texture. There wasn't enough flour. I appreciate the recipe nonetheless but I ended up needing to add a cup more flour.

In reply to Lorrane McPherson. This dough is typically pretty firm so it sounds like one of the measurements was off.

In reply to Brittany. It should make about 18 - I'm not sure where that information went, but I added it back to the recipe card.

HI! About how many cookies can you make in one batch? I have to make 4 dozen.

Tried these. The taste was great, but even after chilling for several hours, the dough was too soft and the cookies spread to a thin mess in the oven. I let cool for over an hour, but they didn't firm up. I think the fat/flour ratio was off. I want to try again, but need suggestions. I don't want to pitch another batch.

In reply to Sara. Earth Balance is a great choice! It's not a huge deal either way. The butter will get warmed up as it whips so it's okay to use it straight from the refrigerator.

I can't wait to try these. Should the butter be chilled or room temperature? I generally use Earth Balance sticks when baking. Thanks!

Let me just say that I never leave reviews for recipes but I had to on this one. The are hands down the best snickerdoodles I’ve ever had! I did make some slight adjustments - I used coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar, and I used the MELT brand of vegan butter. I was a little worried because they looked underdone when I pulled them out of the oven, but after letting them cool on the baking sheet, they were PERFECT! Thank you so much for this recipe, Sarah!

In reply to Ruby. It acts as an egg replacer to bind the cookie together and give it some of it's chewiness. You shouldn't be able to taste the apple sauce at all.

Hi, interested in trying these, I’m curious though. What is the reason for the applesauce? How does it affect the cookie? Thanks in advance.

In reply to Sarah.

I just made these and replaced the butter with coconut oil and it worked really nicely! They taste amazing! I still used all purpose flour though!
