I have grown a fondness for snickerdoodles. Even after the initial disappointed of finding out that the cookies had NOTHING to do with Snickers themselves.
But I do love them. In all their cinnamon-sugary glory.
And now I can enjoy them in a cupcake too! Win-win!!
These are super simple, super tasty, light and fluffy.
The first time I made these, I made them into minis and glazed them with a simple confectioners sugar icing.
The second time I made them I skipped the frosting and topped them with a sprinkling of brown sugar (when they baked up, they has a nice sugary crunch in various places). Perfect for breakfast 😉
Yes, I’ve made them twice. Yes, I’ll make them again. Who knows, maybe with frosting and tiny snickerdoodle cookies as garnish 🙂
Thank you Katie from Katie’s Cakes for choosing this great cupcake!! Find the recipe in Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes book or here on her website.
The Whimsical Cupcake 
I felt like I was hiding under a rock because I only recently discovered snickerdoodles. They are so freakin delicious and these cupcakes look like they won’t disappoint either.
Frosting and mini snickerdoodles as garnish?? That is one heck of a genius ideas – wish I’d thought to do it this week! Your cupcakes look terrific, glad they were a hit.
NOW this I would love to try! I love sneickerdoodles and cupcakes! Best of both worlds!
THOSE look sooo good! So does the rest of your pictures. My wife will never see this I’ll end up weighing 300 lbs in no time…I’m sure of it! (AKA: I’m sure she’ll probably want to see this so I’ll show her in a little while) Great food pics.
Hahaha I was going to be reduced to begging you to show your wife, but I’m glad you came to your senses 😉 Thanks for your kind words!! Have a look around!
I loved these, too. I will definitely be making them again!
