Snickerdoodle Cupcakes


Today I was invited to a friend's house for a delightful lunch.  I decided to bring along Martha Stewart's Snickerdoodle Cupcakes.   Originally, I saw this recipe in Martha's Cupcakes, and then after reading a review of the recipe in Linzy's blog http://flourandsugarthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/01/tested-recipe-snickerdoodle-cupcakes.html, I wanted to give them a try. 

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes taste like a snickerdoodle cookie.  The cupcake, which is flavored with sugar and cinammon, is topped with a dollop of 7 minute frosting.    I had never made this type of frosting before, and it was fun to learn a new technique.  If you decide to make snickerdoodle cupcakes, try Linzy's foolproof recipe for 7 minute frosting.  The frosting is quite sweet and has a marshmallow, meringue consistency. 

My friends and family really enjoyed Snickerdoodle Cupcakes.  I liked them too, but I have to admit I am more of a chocolate kind of girl.  What's your favorite kind of cupcake?

  1. Hi Heather! Looks like they turned out great! The dollop of frosting looks picture perfect! So glad the 7-minute frosting worked out for you, it is a nice frosting to have in your recipe book because it can go with so many different cupcakes/cakes. Thank you for the mention of my blog. Hope you have a great weekend!

  3. I am also a chocolate girl and never thought of eating of plenty vanilla flavored cup cakes. I am baking some chewy chocolate cookies for my kids midnight snack right now. My kids love to eat cookies while watching cartoons.

  4. This is awesome. I can’t wait to try this one. Maybe I should add some chocolate syrup to make my kids love it.
