Snickerdoodle Cookie Cupcakes

Jump to Recipe

Yesterday I shared my new favorite cupcake, the Pumpkin Pie Cupcake. Today I’m going to share my daughter’s favorite – the Snickerdoodle Cookie Cupcake.

This is kind of crazy, but I went the majority of my life having never tried a snickerdoodle. I’m not sure how that happens, I think I must have always been distracted by other cookies. On a trip to Disneyland a few years back, I was looking for the Disneyland bakery snickerdoodles, as I wanted to bring some home for a friend who loves them. Well go figure, there were none to be found. So I had to come home and make some myself. Turns out snickerdoodles are a wonderfully simple and delicious cookie. The kind you can eat way too many of in one sitting (not that I have, it’s just what I’ve heard, or something like that…)   Yum. Well the only thing better than a snickerdoodle is a snickerdoodle cupcake topped with a snickerdoodle.

These cupcakes are easy to make and start with a mix.

I topped my cupcakes with a cinnamon brown sugar buttercream frosting that is one of my favorite frostings. Brown sugar + buttercream frosting = a very good thing. I topped my cupcakes with mini snickerdoodles. You can find the snickerdoodle recipe I use right here.

Brown Sugar Buttercream

Print Rate Save Saved!

Ingredients

  • 1 stick of butter softened
  • 1/4 cup of light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 4-5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup of half and half milk can be used as well, more if needed

Instructions

  • Beat together your butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until fluffy.
  • Add your vanilla and mix well.
  • Slowly add your powdered sugar – how much you add will depend on the consistency you like your frosting. For a stiffer frosting add more, for a more glaze like frosting, add less.
  • Beat in mixer and add in your half and half, a small amount at a time until your frosting is the desired consistency.
  • Continue beating on high for two minutes.

    Oh that buttercream. I swear, I’d eat the whole batch with a spoon in secret, hiding from my family so I wouldn’t have to share.
