Let's be honest here, snickerdoodles are and will always be an absolute classic when it comes to the world of cookie baking. I swear, there is nothing better than a soft, chewy, and tangy snickerdoodle coated in cinnamon sugar.
Snickerdoodles are definitely more Nate's thing. They have been one of his favorite cookies since just about forever and he always talks about how much he loved them growing up. Usually when I ask what type of cookie he wants me to make, snickerdoodles are usually his number one request.

Why do you use both coconut flour and almond flour?
Almond flour is very dry while coconut flour holds a little more moisture. You have add both in order to best mimic all purpose flour! You only need a little bit of coconut flour though to add that moisture which is why the bulk of the flour used is almond flour.
Why do you use cream of tartar?
Cream of Tartar is what gives you that signature snickerdoodle cookie tang. It is absolutely essential in order to create that desired snickerdoodle flavoring!
