**Vegan Almond Butter Snickerdoodles**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup almond butter
– 1 cup sugar
– 1/4 cup maple syrup
– 1/4 cup almond milk
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup sugar (for rolling)
– 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, sugar, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for 30 minutes to firm up.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon for the rolling mixture.
6. Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
7. Place the coated dough ball on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten it with the bottom of a glass.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
