These gluten-free Snickerdoodle Cookies combine a soft and chewy cinnamon sugar cookie with a creamy cinnamon vanilla cream cheese frosting. Top that with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar and you are in cookie heaven!
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, mix together the butter and both sugars for one minute.
Then, add in the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until just combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients.
Mix until just combined.
Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, place the dough into the baking sheets.
With a small spoon, sprinkle each ball of dough with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly brown.
Let cookies cool for 2-3 minutes then transfer to a baking rack for an additional 15 minutes.
Once cookies have cooled completely, add frosting.
Frosting
In an electric mixer using the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and butter until creamy about 2 minutes.
Then add all remaining ingredients and mix on low until slightly combined then on high for about 2 minutes.
