A Community Recipe by Poemomm
This cookie tastes strongly like the snickerdoodles that are a holiday favorite around Pennsylvania and utilizes that often ignored grain called millet. A soft, nutmeg-scented cookie is surrounded by a burst of cinnamon. Feel free to dehydrate these a little for a warm treat. For those with a nut allergy, or just...

I would think fine milled flax would be a good substitute for the oats or teff. Probably not the full 2 cups tho.

Hrm... I'm guessing you could also use dehydrated pears that had been ground into pulp as well -- making sure they were super dehydrated first.

lots of millet - Otherwise, if you can have wheat berries or spelt berries, you can substitute those, soaked and ground.

Wow! These look fantastic -- any ideas for what could I substitute for the oats entirely? I'm allergic to them (also allergic to teff).

millet is a gluten free grain (you see it in birdseed) that's very nutritious. Yummy too. Soak it for 3 hours. Thanks!

I have never used millet before. What is it? How long should I soak it? Any other suggestions? Thanks!! I loved snickerdoodles as a kid! These look great!

I use GF oats - you can buy the groats from Lara's GF Oats or Bob's Red Mill, though you may have to wrangle with a rep to get raw ones (I got ahold of a large batch, which I'm hoarding... but it wasn't easy).
You could also use the Teff Company's ivory teff flour - as far as I'm aware, it's raw.
