gluten-free Vanilla Pudding Snickerdoodle Cookies recipe

Here is my recipe for snickerdoodle cookies with my secret ingredient, vanilla pudding mix!  I use an easy homemade pudding mix; 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract but you can use a store bought 3.4 ounce box of cook and serve pudding mix  if you don’t have cornstarch or don’t want to make it.

The pudding mix makes cookies wonderfully soft and chewy. They also hold their shape better and make much prettier cookies, in my opinion.

My husband said these are the best snickerdoodle cookies he has ever tried and when I make a batch they do not last long!  

Yum

    Step 2 lists cream of tartar but it’s not in the ingredients?

    Is this instant or cooked type pudding mix? I love Snickerdoodles and have missed them. Can’t wait to try them.

      Hey Barb, I use a cooked type pudding mix. Before discovering how easy it was to make a homemade version (directions in the post and notes of recipe) I used Dr. Oetker Organic Pudding Mix.

    One other small typo … Ingredient is listed as baking powder, but in step 2, it’s referred to as baking soda. I used baking powder, here’s hoping they come out right! πŸ™‚

    If the GF flour blend I have already contains xanthan gum, should I leave out the 1 teaspoon addition?

      If your flour already has xanthan gum, you should be fine. If I use a flour like that I usually add half of what is called for, just to be safe.

    These sound good! I am just trying now some gluten free baking flour red mill, and I’m not gluten free, but like trying new things. I love the texture and flavor this mix has rice flour one of my favs. I bet I would love these cookies and want to try it!

    I see this is an old post. But I found this on Pinterest a few weeks ago. And I took the recipe and ran with it. They turned out great. I really loved them so did my family who is not gluten free. I will continue to make these.
