Soft, Scrumptious, Reduced Sugar Snickerdoodles

Do you like cookies? Oh, I have a sweet tooth! My challenge is always creating treats that still satisfy my sweet tooth, but aren’t loaded with sugar. And with baking season here, you can imagine I run into this on a regular basis! One of my husband’s absolutely favorite cookies is Snickerdoodles, and I have never made them before because the recipe calls for so much sugar. So, I got creative in the kitchen today and came up with a soft and yummy Snickerdoodle recipe that has half the sugar you will see in other recipes.

I reduced the sugar and added applesauce, and I only used one egg and added Tampico’s Apple Punch juice drink…for an extra apple punch. If you love Snickerdoodle cookies too, be sure to give this recipe a try. It’s perfect for cookie swaps or sharing with friends and family, as it makes about 30 cookies.  That is if you have any left after your family gets ahold of them 😉

I had everything I needed to make these Reduced-Sugar Snickerdoodles right in my pantry and refrigerator, if you don’t have Tampico Apple Punch in your refrigerator too, keep a look out for it in stores as it’s perfect for the Holiday’s!
