Snickerdoodle Cupcakes
I needed to make a thank you treat this morning. When I asked the friend what kind of baked goods she liked, she said snickerdoodles, oatmeal raisin cookies, Funfetti cake, and chocolate cake. I didn’t have any raisins on hand and I knew that her mother makes fabulous snickerdoodle cookies, so there would be no point in trying to compare to those.
So instead of failing in comparison, I just tried to take a different approach.
Recipe from Michelle at GroupRecipes.com
Snickerdoodle Cupcakes
1 ½ cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup melted butter, cooled
1 ¼ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon almond extract
¾ cup whole milk*
¼ cup cinnamon sugar
Cinnamon Vanilla Buttercream:
1 stick butter softened
3 cups powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 Tablespoons milk
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
3. In a separate bowl, beat sugar and cooled butter until light and fluffy. Then add eggs, vanilla, almond extract and milk. Mix until well blended.
4. Combine dry and wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
5. Spoon into cupcake liners and bake for 18-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. When the cupcakes come out of the oven, brush the tops with butter and then roll them in cinnamon sugar.
7. Buttercream: Beat butter until light and fluffy. Add 2-3 cups powdered sugar (taste along the way) and beat for 4-5 minutes. Add vanilla and cinnamon. Add milk to loosen.
8. Top cupcakes with buttercream when cooled.
*I didn’t have whole milk, so I just used ¾ cup 1% and melted a little extra butter.

Lizzy, these look amazing. I want one right now. I am going to try and make these soon. Love your blog by the way.
I just made these today with my 2 1/2 year old and they were definitely a winner! She rated them "A lot yummy!". We tried these first because we had everything on hand. Now I guess we'll just have to try all of your recipes:)
I tried this one yesterday, but I accidentally pour in 1 teaspoon instead of just 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract making the cakes taste like children's antibiotic. I was so disappointed because everything else was perfect. The texture was soft and moist and the buttercream was yummy. I'm gonna try again soon and this time I'm going to be very careful with the almond extract. Wish me luck!
okay, so i definitly am about to try these babies out. and i, and my family, would like to thank you for your great recipes. i have tried your nutella cupcakes, oreo blizzard cupcakes, mexican hot chocolate cupcakes, s'more's cupcakes, etc! i also took your nutella cupcake recipe and tried duing a peanut butter frosting instead, and i kept the nutella filling. it was so good. my family appreciates me a lot more now. haha 🙂 i'm always trying another one of your recipes. it's great. your cupcakes are the best. i refuse to use any other recipe. and i love how you put your own twist on things.
i just started a blog, you should follow me! it's:

I LOVE making these! However, I've found that if you put a layer of cinnamon sugar on top of the cupcake batter before they bake, you end up with a cookie like crust on top. SO GOOD!
do you make your own cinnamon sugar, or do you buy it already made?
I just mix up my own
what proportions do you use?
Just made these and my husband loved them! Only problem was that they stuck to the paper due to the brushed on butter and cinnamon. Otherwise scrumdidlyumptious!!!
Can the almond extract be omitted?I'm very allergic but I still want to make these!!
Yes, you can omit the almond extract!
How many will a batch of this make?
It makes about 15 cupcakes, depending on the size.
What ratios do you use for the cinnamon sugar?
I don't really know, I just doo it by look. But I would say its about 3:1 sugar: cinnamon maybe 4:1
My ratio is 1 Tablespoon Sugar to 1 teaspoon Cinnamon 🙂 Which is 3:1
These look fantastic! Can't wait to try this 🙂
I'm so excited to be trying to make these today. I want to make these for my daughter's 2nd birthday party. So I'm quite excited. I'm just debating on taking the almond extract out or not. Not sure if she can have that yet.
Just leave it out if you are worried.
Wow! I found these on Pinterest and had to try them. They are phenomenal. I cheated a little on the frosting because I had half a tub of vanilla frosting in my fridge so I just tossed a little cinnamon sugar into that and voila! Absolutely wonderful!
Made these for work…BIG hit. Will be making them again
I’ve been living in Australia for 13 years now and none of my friends have ever heard of Snickerdoodles. Had my friends over for afternoon tea today and they loved them. Thanks for a great recipe.
Ok, so I made these last night and the cake part turned out amazing! The frosting not so much ha. It tasted just fine, but definitely did not look as light and fluffy as in your picture. It was just flat and melted onto the cupcake. I let them cool down for quite a while so I don’t think it was a temperature issue. Any suggestions for next time?
Thank you anyways! They still tasted delicious and my husband was a huge fan! 🙂
I just made these cupcakes. They turned out great! I was nervous when it said to use melted butter, I’ve never made a cupcake that used that before. But it really turned out amazing! I overfilled the liners so they weren’t exactly pretty but now I know better. OH and I made a cinnamon cream cheese frosting, because as far as my family is concerned cream cheese frosting goes with basically anything LOL
I have these babies in the oven now, and they smell snickerdoodleicious!
I saw your recipe on Pinterest and thought this would be great for my brother in law’s birthday. He loves snickerdoodles! But he isnt a fan of cupcakes really. So I thought maybe I could just a regular round cake. What would you guess the timing for that to be?
Two round cakes? Probably about 22 minutes or so. It really depends on the oven, just stick a shark knife or a toothpick in the center to check. It should come out without any dough on it, if there’s just a few crumbs thats fine.
Ahahaha, shark knife. Seriously, these cupcakes look amazing, but this comment made me giggle. Thanks! 🙂
Do you think I could use a white or yellow cake mix and add the vanilla, almond and cinnamon sugar to make this recipe easier?
You probably could, but honestly- mixing the ingredients together isn’t THAT difficult. I personally would follow the recipe as closely as possible. Don’t be lazy.
Yes yes you can make this into a cake mix recipe. I am all for being lazy and using up the stack of cake mixes piled up in the pantry!
Looks good! I especially like the frosting – I just tried a cinnamon cream cheese frosting for Mexican hot chocolate cupcakes (http://flourandhops.wordpress.com/2013/02/21/mexican-hot-chocolate-cupcakes/) and wasn’t thrilled with it. I’m going to try your frosting instead!
Have made these twice and they have come out great. Got lots of compliments on them. I used 1% milk where the recipe says buttermilk and it was just fine.
I saw these on Pinterest and had to try them… it was a good choice – they were a hit!! DELICIOUS!!
My son requested “cinnamon cupcakes ” for his fourth birthday. This was perfect!!! Thank you! They were delicious!!
Next time you should try my Cinnamon Toast Crunch cupcakes!

This recipe is amazing and I’ve been using it for several years. I love the texture of these and am wondering if there is a way to make them vanilla cupcakes? Omitting the cinnamon and adding vanilla bean? I welcome your thoughts!
