It’s too bad you can’t smell my house right now. The boys and I have been baking Snickerdoodles and the whole house smells SO GOOD!!!
It seems that my boys think sitting on the
countertop is the best way to bake.
Last week I received some of this yummy organic Red Ape Cinnamon from KestrelGrowth.com. I don’t know why I’ve never tried to make a healthier version of Snickerdoodles. But…when my Red Ape Cinnamon came in the mail that’s the first thing I knew I wanted to make!
Snickerdoodles
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup sucanat or rapadura
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 Tablespoons sucanat mixed with 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Stir together melted butter and sucanat. Add egg, vanilla, baking soda and cream of tartar, stirring well. Mix in flour. Cover bowl and chill dough in refrigerator for one hour. Roll dough into one inch balls. Roll balls in the sucanat/cinnamon mixture. Place balls about two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
These cookies turned out SO good!! Now, I want to use my new cinnamon in Applesauce Bread and Cinnamon Swirl Bread!! I love baking in the fall…
This week, just in time for YOUR fall baking, KestrelGrowth.com is offering to give one of my readers a FREE jar of Red Ape Cinnamon!! Leave a comment here letting us know why you’d love to win!
I’ll draw a random winner on Tuesday, September 15. Woohoo for Red Ape Cinnamon!
Jen says
I’d love to win because I’m trying to eat more cinnamon to lower my cholesterol and we eat only organic! So this would be an awesome thing to win!
Jaime says
Because I love baking with cinnamon especially in the fall!
Jackie says
Oh this would be wonderful. I use cinnamon a lot in baking and cooking ethenic foods. We love cinnamon! Especially how it makes your house smell!
Laura says
I’ve never had organic cinnamon before… I would love to see if it tastes any different/better than what I’ve been using :)
Lenetta @ Nettacow says
I LOVE cinnamon! Though I’m not quite sure it lowers my blood sugar enough to compensate for all the things I eat that it’s in . . . yum! Thanks for the chance, Laura!
Keli says
we love cinnamon! i would love to try organic
Dionne says
Cinnamon is a must have for fall baking.
Amy @ Finer Things says
Nothing smells better than baking with cinnamon. Not even chocolate {gasp!}
Heather says
We love cinnamon in our house but we have never tried organic. Looks awesome!
Sara Taylor says
Mmm, I’d love to win some to get the full ambiance of fall. YUM! Plus I really want to try your snickerdoodle recipe!
Zoey says
A new batch of cinnamon would be a small blessing to my kitchen which is really feeling the effects of my husband’s 9th month of job searching with no results. I am a new reader as of a couple weeks now, and I can’t tell you how much fun I have had exploring this site and the encouragement I have received.
Josette says
I have been reading of the benefits of cinnamon, that it lowers blood sugar. I use cinnamon alot. I would love to try some organic cinnamon!!
Jen B says
We go through a lot of cinnamon in our house. I could ALWAYS use more. :)
Allison (Eat Clean Live Green) says
Cinnamon is such a great addition to fall baking, and I’m ashamed to say my current supply is I-don’t-know-how-old. I’m sure some new stuff would taste amazing in comparison!
Melissa says
I’d love to win because I love baking in the fall and I’m out of cinnamon!!!!
PLEASE pick me!! :-D
Rebekah says
I’d love to win it because I love to bake and am on a new journey learning how to bake more healthy for my family and those around us. This would make a great addition to help me do that :)
Sherry says
I love the smell of cinnamon baking in the house too. We have also never tried organic cinnamon so would love to taste the difference.
I just recently found your blog a month ago and have been scouring every post and loving the healthy ideas. I am having fun trying new recipes and finding new healthy ways to cook. I have a 1 1/2 yr old girl and a 2 1/2 year old boy. I just started this fall working on the alphabet, colors, shapes and bible memory verses with my son. I love reading what you have to say about homeschooling.
I am so blessed by reading HeavenlyHomeakers.com. Thank you so much.

Tara says
I am trying to use more natural products for my family. Your snickerdoodle recipe sounds like just what we need to try. I would love the cinnamon to go in them! Thanks for sharing.
Cindy says
Because I love cinnamon, and this comes in a jar. ;)
Tania says
I love baking anything with cinnamon. I have been wanting to try an organic cinnamon and this would be a great kick in the pants. (-;
Soooo what is the difference between sucanat and that other sugar you use (can’t remember the name)?
Laura says
Rapadura. Oh yeah…I forgot to mention that in the recipe, so I went back in and added it. :)
Rapadura and Sucanat are the same thing, I’ve learned recently. Except that sucanat tends to be cheaper! Plus, my last batch of rapadura was REALLY strong tasting and we didn’t like it. Sucanat seems to taste milder and we really like it.
Be careful though! If it’s not organic sucanat, it may just be sugar with molasses added back in. Organic Sucanat is truly “dehydrated cane sugar juice”…sugar in it’s whole form!
Meghan says
I’d love to win because those cookies look awesome! Yum yum!
niki says
Because I LOVE to bake and my four boys love it when I love to bake lol.
Shanda Palsulich says
I would love to win their cinnamon. Why? Because all of your recipes that I have tried have been wonderful and you endorse this product so it must be good.
tarena says
We would love to win…we put cinnamon in everything!!
Jacquie Olsen says
I love cinnamon, but one of the best things about this wonderful spice is that it is good for you. I am desparate to try to cook more healthy and use natural ingredients. Desparate, I tell you. I need to JUST DO IT. :)
JessW says
Yummy… so I could put it in my mulled cider. Yeah!
Lauren says

Taryn says
We LOVE cinnamon- but I am running out . . . it would be awesome to have really good cinnamon for once.
Kari says
Oh!! I LOVE cinnamon!! Not only b/c it reminds me of fall *My favorite season* but b/c it is so healthful!!
Jilann says

Jen says
I’d like to win because after seeing that pic of those snickerdoodles and reading about how good they are and how great they smell… I MUST MAKE THEM! :)
Hallee says
Snickerdoodles are my daughter’s favorite. I love making them with the kids because there’s a step they get to do alone (roll in the sugar) and they love making them because their hands get all sugary.
Bronwyn says

Pamela says
Um…because who DOESN’T love to bake with cinnamon!! :-) We love cinnamon swirl bread, cinnamon on fruit salad and it’s really good for your health too. When my hubby was diabetic (praise God he’s healed from it!) we were told that cinnamon helps keep blood sugars level…or something! But for whatever reason…its just makes the house smell yummy!!
Suzanne Tomb says
I would LOVE to try this. We use so much cinnamon in our house- it is one thing that we all love!
Nothing says fall like the smell of cinnamon!

Jennie says

Sharon says
Just once in my life I’d like to win something I can use! I’ve won things in the past that I had absolutely no use for. Cinnamon is great for helping stabilize blood sugar, and we’ve got blood sugar issues, so this sounds great!

Sarah says
I would love to win because cinnamon is such a great fall spice….I can smell the flavors already!
audra says
I would LOVE to try Red Ape cinnamon! I try to use cinnamon as much as possible for blood sugar control (lots of diabetes in the family). It is amazing how God provides us with these amazing foods that can do so much!
I’m tiring of the Walmart special cinnamon – little flavor, not organic, just not good!
Jackie says
ummmmm…because free stuff tastes better?? :)
thanks so much for your blog…your recipes and menu plans have been very very helpful!
Melody says
My family would love to win so that we can enjoy even healthier cinnamon treats. We will also make some to share with friends and spread the RED APE name!

Natalie says
I would love to try organic cinnamon. I use it in so many things – especially this time of year.
Amy says
I use cinnamon a lot in various things. Baking, teas, cocoas. We also love it in brownies to enhance that decadent chocolate flavor. I like the fact that it is all natural and the purchase helps out the “red ape”. Thanks for the opportunity.
karen says
I would love to win some of this cinnamon because with a name like RED APE – it just puts a smile on your face!!
Donna says
I would love to use it in;
cinnamon rolls

Katie @ Kitchen Stewardship says
My favorite spice, to be sure!
Camille says
I’d love some cinnamon for the fall apple season! Pies, breads, applesauce… yum!
Tia says
I love cinnamon any time of the year. I put it in lots of things, usually in greater quantities than the recipe calls for. Also, I’ve never tried organic cinnamon before. I’ve always just purchased the little $.50 canister from Walmart. I wonder how organic would taste compared to cheap? :-)
micah says
I would love to try Red Ape cinnamon.
I have never heard of this brand before, we southerners maybe missing out on something gooood!
Oh, I hope I win :o)
Naomi says
I love the smell and taste of cinnamon! I love to bake using cinnamon!

Kimberly in NC says
I absolutely love cinnamon! It smells the best and makes everything better!
Kristen says
mmmm…I love the smell of cinnamon in the fall! Living in Florida I miss out on ‘true’ seasons, so we make up for it by baking and pretending that there is a crisp coolness in the air!
Angie says
Snickerdoodles bring back memories from my childhood. Thank you! I also love baking in the fall although we are still having a lil heat here in WI so I haven’t started quite yet. I am in the process of making healthier choices for my family as I bake and cook and organic cinnamon would be a great addition to this. I am off to make cinn rolls now mmmmmmmm!
Trisha says
I’d love to win this :) Just in time for me to go on my marathon baking spree for Thanksgiving. Everyone gets apple pies this year if I win!
janna says
Oh, I want to win the cinnamon! We just moved to a
place where fall is going to only be a state of mind. I can use all the fall baking supplies I can get to make me believe it’s really a change in season.
Marie says
I was a little sad to see summer come to an end, but now I’m embracing fall and the wonderful baking and crafts that come with it! Every year, I make large batches of apple dumplings, apple butter, apple pie filling, and applesauce. That cinnamon would be wonderful!
serina says
i’d love to win cinnamon! from oatmeal to apple cider, we use it in a ton of things.
Jeanene says
I love fall because of cinnamon and pumpkins. This is my favorite time of the year. Winning some free cinnamon would get my favorite season started just right.
Karen Sims says
i would LOVE to win some cinnamon! I think i will…since the day of the drawing is my 26th wedding anniversary, I am sure I will have extra luck!!
Karen :-)
Heather says
Why would I love Cinnamon? Wait…ORGANIC cinnamon? Because we go through it like crazy at our house. Between Pioneer Woman’s cinnamon rolls, cinnamon bread and all my other baking I fly through cinnamon. I’ve never tried organic and would love to give it a chance.
I’m working towards a generally more organic and/or local diet for my family and myself. It isn’t easy, but we are making baby steps. And canning and freezing like crazy in order to make it easier this winter!
Thanks for your inspiration and here’s hoping that we have more cinnamon on the way soon :)
Heather
travelinpilgrim says
Funny thing! I JUST made Snickerdoodles for my husband this last weekend. This is his favorite kind. Unfortunately, I was not brave enough to make it using my rapadura. I used Organic Cane Crystals instead because I wanted the lighter color. Of course, if I won this cinnamon, I’d make MORE snickerdoodles and try the Rapadura.
Greta says
Thank you! I was just thinking a batch of cookies needed to be made around here, and this recipe is just what I need! :) As for the cinnamon, I’m all for buying organic. I could use this on a yummy fruit salad, or to season a piping bowl of oatmeal in the coming winter months.
Ann in Scotland says
We use cinamon all the time in porridge and also in apple crumble (apples from the garden just about ready). We’d love to try some of this
tami lewis says
since my dds and i love to bake and are always looking for organic ingredients this would be a fantastic win!
Pam says
We love cinnamon! And because of my son’s food allergies, I have to bake all goodies myself. I add cinnamon to most of my baked goods, just for that special touch. Thanks for offering this!
Jessica says
Nothing says fall like that cinnamony smell! (is that a word?)
Danielle Gaerte says
Love to win, I’d love to try something new!!
Katie says
We go through cinnamon in my house like it’s nobody’s business!! :) It would be great to win!!
Mrs. Team S says
This looks yummy! We love cinnamon around here.
Thank you! Have a blessed day!
Stephanie says
My dear hubby LOVES cinnamon so I try to cook with it often. Happy hubby, happy wifey? Regardless of whether I win, I think I may look into Red Ape. =)
Kathy Shaner says
Well, for one thing– I want to use it in this snickerdoodle recipe! I don’t think I can wait, though. I’m going to make them tonight and then later– with my new jar of Red Ape– make some more!
By the by– I found a yummy syrup-y way to use cinnamon, the raspberries from our yard, and peaches from our tree… to stretch our maple syrup. It’s so simple, but ingenious. If you haven’t seen it on the Kitchen Stewardship blog, here it is:
http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2009/08/04/kitchen-tip-tuesday-how-to-stretch-your-real-maple-syrup/
Jil says
I would love to win. Nothing is better than the smell of cinnamon baking in the fall.
Jennifer says
We love cinnamon in our house – seems lots of others do, too! It smells great and tastes yummy on applesauce, in cookies, even sprinkled in coffee. We’d love to try a healthier, probably tastier, cinnamon!
katie says
Yum!! I would love to try this!
Carolyn says
I’d love it b/c we put cinnamon on everything!!!
Rebecca says
As everyone else here, we LOVE cinnamon! We use it all the time. I have not had a chance to try organic and can’t wait to try some. Trying to run out of our huge Sam’s club, probably irradiated, one.
Jen K says
I would love to try this cinnamon! We all love cinnamon and you can use it in just about everything!
anna says
Cool! I’ll sign up for this! I love cinnamon…in just about anything!:-)
Deja says
We use cinnamon regularly around here…and just TONIGHT in the snickerdoodles! My only complaint about the recipe…it didn’t make enough cookies! Another winning recipe from Heavenly Homemakers.
Jen says
I just ran out of cinnamon and would love to try this. Snickerdoodles are one of my mom’s favorites, so I had them all the time growing up, but haven’t had one in years!
dina turner says
I would love to try the Red Ape Cinnamon! We have been trying to buy and use more organic spices and ingredients in our family. Cinnamon is one of my favorite things to add to my morning coffee!( Which I really must have prior to starting school with the children!)
Dina
HeatherC says
I would love to win. My 3 year old son likes nothing better than putting on his chef costume and baking with me. Cinnamon would be a welcome addition to our baking! :)
Kim says
Why I would like to win the Red Ape Cinnamon…hmm!
Cinnamon (I just found out) is great for reducing belly fat! It is the one spice I am ALWAYS running out of. I am in the process of switching my kitchen to a more healthy kitchen and organic cinnamon would be a nice touch. My girls LOVE to bake so we could make some of these YUMMY sounding Snickerdoodles. My list could go on but I think you get the idea that I would LOVE to win. :D
Blessings,
Kim
Julie says
Ummmm……because cinnamon is YUMMY!! :) I love to put it in my coffee.

I would love to win cinnamon! I put it in just about everything, and always a little more than the recipe calls for. ;-)

I’d love to give this brand a try. I use a TON of cinnamon and usually get mine from the grocery store or online in bulk.
Sonia says
Wow!! I can not wait to make these with the kids.
Michelle says
We love cinnamon– I just put 4x the cinnamon called for in a recipe, and I’m not sure my husband will think that’s cinnamony enough
Saralyn says
The cookies sound terrific! What’s not to love about cinnamon? Great in oatmeal, applesauce, muffins, cookies, tea…the list goes on and on.
Donna says
Cookies sound really good. I would love to win the cinnamon as my husband is diabetic and uses it on his morning oatmeal every day and also puts it on his cottage cheese & fruit salad. It is good for diabetics. We use a lot of it at our house.
Heidi Nelson says
I would love to try those snickerdoodles! I also love baking in the fall!!
Jill says
Love the smell of warm cinnamon! Gets me in the mood for cooler weather.

Love, love, love your blog, Laura. I’d love to win this Red Ape Cinnamon because I’m sure it would would make all the breads, cookies and muffins I’m making this fall taste even better. I’ve always used the cinnamon from the grocery and would love to taste “real cinnamon.”

Abby says
I would love to win because it just seems that cinnamon goes with fall. Thanks

Tiffany says
Because there is nothing better than the smell of cinnamon!!! I LOVE the fall and everything it brings, especially the fall scents – pumpkin, apple, cinnamon & spice. I would love to try the Red Ape Cinnamon! :)

Emily says
We love cinnamon around here and I’ve never tried Organic before, would love to try it!
princesslimey (at) gmail (dot) com

Shelley says
I LOVE baking with my kids. We are in the process of switching to organic items, and this would help us transition our spice cabinet too!
Thanks so much for all of your upbeat and encouraging posts, as well as tons of useful info. I LOVE your site!
Thanks!
Melinda McCormick says
who doesn’t like cinnamon, and organic! Bring it on, would love to try it!
Melissa says
I would love to win a Red Ape Cinnamon because everyone in the household loves Cinnamon. You can you cinnamon in almost in baking or in cooking. I can use a jar of it in my fall baking and since is organic it would be even better..yummy :)
Becki says
I would love to try some organic cinnamon, I have not used up all my spices yet, so I am not completely converted over yet, :)
OneAcreHomestead says
I’d love to win because organic cinnamon would make my homemade apple butter all the more delish…and the apple harvest will be rolling in soon!
Tracy says
My favorite easy thing to use cinnamon on is cinnamon toast! Broiled in the oven is the best! And man oh man, you have a lot of fans looking for free cinnamon on this one! Wow. Did you know your readership was this good? That’s great!
Cheri says
I LOVE cinnamon and would love to try this kind.
Sarah says
Yeah for Snickerdoodles! You are the second person this week to tell me they have made them. We always had them at Christmas time so it seems wierd to have them now. That’s ok, I love them, so anytime is a good time! I’ve never tried any organic spices, so I would love to try it out!
Carrie Smyth says
Our children love cinnamon and sugar on toast! Thanks for this post.
Darcey says
We love cinnamon. I look for anything to put cinnamon in.
Sarah says
I love using cinnamon and have used a bunch lately to help break up a chest cold/allergies that landed in my chest. It’s really good with hot water, lemon juice, honey and ginger to break up chest congestion :-)
Laura says
Thanks for the giveaway!
Hattie says
I would love to win that jar of Red Ape cinnamon to go in all my fall baking. I can almost smell it now! Count me in on the drawing!
Thanks.
Barb J. says
Thanksgiving is coming up, and that means I will be baking pumpkin pies for days. I give them to friends and family members. And, of course, they require cinnamon!
Melissa N. says
My husband wouuld love this! He loves anything that has cinnomen in it, I can’t use it b/c I’m allergic, so he has to make stuff with it alone. *lol*
Megan says
Mine are finishing up right now. Red Ape Cinnamon will definitely be in my spice box one day (tiny apt with limited cabinet space).
Abby says
These are definitely a keeper! They are soft and totally delish!
Kim says
When I made snickerdoodles this year with only butter they were see-through flat. What’s the secret?
Laura says
Only bake them until they are ALMOST done. They’ll stay softer if they are just a little bit under done. At least that’s how it works for me!
Leecel says
Can’t wait to try this recipe! Snickerdoodles have been my favorite cookie since childhood and I’d love for my little ones to learn what a better-for-you homemade one tastes like. And of course some organic cinnamon in the spice rack would be cherished by this cinnamon loving family!
Angel Rodriguez says
Do you think it would work to substitute coconut sap sugar for the sucanat/rapadura?
LindseyforLaura@HHM says
I did some searching and it would seem to work just fine. Let us know how it turns out if you try it!
Sarah Mulholland says
These turned out great!
Sarah G says
I made these (cheated and used a little white flour) and my very picky 3 year old gobbled them down. He rarely eats the cookies I make and considering these were so much healthier I felt great. I really like your approach to cooking and eating. Your site is great.
Wendy says
I made these cookies yesterday with my 2 children (8 & 5) and our home smelled sooo good! They couldn’t wait to try these. Their verdict? A big, cookie crumbed 2 thumbs up! My husband loves them too! Thank you for this recipe! We’re transitioning from processed foods to more ‘real foods’ and recipes like these make it oh so easy to do! Thank you! Thank you! :)
Wendy says
Oh, and for anyone who ends up with their cookies running all over their cookie sheets or getting too thin, here’s a tip from BH&G cookbook (p.195): “Use isulated cookie sheets selectively. You may have trouble using them for cookies high in butter…b/c the butter may start to melt, leaking out before the dough is set. And b/c the dough spreads before it sets, cookies may have thin edges.” I have found this to be very true! My first ever batch of Giant Breakfast cookies, baked on insulated sheets, were so thin they fell apart into crumbs but the rest of the batch (on regular aluminum sheets) were normal. Good luck and happy baking! :)
erika says
Since you posted this recipe, I know that you have greatly reduced the amount of sugar you use. Have you made this with less sugar? If so, how much?
Laura says
I haven’t, but if I made them now I’d at least do 1/2 cup instead of a whole cup. :)
erika says
That’s exactly what I did! I used 1/2 cup of sucanat and kept everything else the same. They were delicious! :)
Jody says
We love cinnamon in our house!!!
M says
I appreciate this recipe as we have been enjoying it for years. Now, I am about to make it in Guatemala at an orphanage! Hopefully, all bakes well at 6K ft elevation.
Thank you!
