Ambrosia Apples Snickerdoodles

These cinnamon and Ambrosia apple cookies will remind you of apple pie but they’re much easier to pack in a lunch! Unlike some snickerdoodles, these are soft and just a bit gooey. If you prefer them crunchy, flatten them fully before cooking. Enjoy them on their own, with your coffee, or as the ends of a delicious ice cream sandwich. We made these gluten-free, but you can substitute regular flour if you wish.
