Method

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, both sugars, and the salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then set aside to cool.
  2. In a ceramic bowl, combine the butter, coconut oil, vanilla, and lemon juice.
  3. In a large ceramic bowl, combine the kamut flour, arrowroot, cream of tartar, cinnamon, bittermelon, and baking soda.
  4. Add the gelatin and psyllium husks to the cooled sugar water. Stir until it thickens, then add to the butter mixture.
  5. Add the slightly beaten eggs to the butter mixture and mix.
  6. Mix in the flour.
  7. Scoop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F for about .

Notes

  • Snickerdoodles are traditionally rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking; this version bakes the cinnamon right into the dough.
