Ever crave something but not feel like making a whole recipe? You don’t want too many leftovers, or to buy a bunch of ingredients? Maybe you’re the only one in your family that likes a certain flavor?
I am a huge fan of microwave, mug, and personal-sized ‘baked’ treats for these moments. My low-FODMAP mug cakes (like my Pumpkin Mug Cake, Chocolate Mug Cake and PB & J Mug Cake) and low-FODMAP microwave cookies are a nice way to hit that spot.
But I don’t have a ‘snickerdoodle’ recipe for the microwave. And, I have been craving an easier to make ‘snickerdoodle’ cookie for a while….(although my recipe for these baked in an oven are pretty incredible).
Voila! I made it happen 🙂
Try this low-FODMAP, gluten-free and EASY treat anytime you want a smaller version of this delicious dessert.

Exactly what i was craving!
I was craving something like this and this is exactly what I needed. Turned out a little bit more like a cake though than a cookie but very delicious
Love this, thank you so much! In a small recipe, the measurements are very precise, so it could be that there was a little extra baking powder, or your dough may have been a little lighter. I am happy you enjoyed the snickerdoodle.
Hope you stay in touch!
Best,
Rachel
Quick Question
Approximately in what size container should this recipe be cook? Can’t wait to make it!
Hi Amy,
Great question!
I like using my Le Creuset mini casserole for microwave cookies (it is 5.5 by 5.5 inches). However, these could also be made in a standard sized mug, 2 ramekins, a microwaveable bowl, or your desired dish. Be aware that the cooking time can vary, depending on your microwave and the container you use.
Best,
Rachel
