Looking for a quick and easy cookie that will give you all the holiday feels? These are sort of a cross between a gingerbread cookie and a snickerdoodle (gingerdoodle), don’t need any refrigeration time, are filled with the holiday spices you love, are a great texture, AND are gluten-free!

Gluten-Free Chewy Gingerbread Snickerdoodle Cookies
These cookies are nice and chewy with a fun crunch on the outside thanks to some cinnamon and sugar. Sort of a blend of the spiciness of a gingerbread cookie with the textures (and a bit of the flavors) of a snickerdoodle.

The key to great chewy cookies is to not skimp when creaming the butter and sugar. Blend the butter for at least 3-5 minutes longer if you have it! These cookies don’t need to be chilled like gingerbread or molasses cookies usually do.

These are SO good and were gobbled up quickly in our house! You can make them into smaller cookies if you’d like, just reduce the cooking time a bit. Let me know if you tried a different flour & how it turned out!
