Snickerdoodle Cookie Muffins taste as amazing as they sound! I have been eyeballing this recipe for quite some time. I just love muffins. And ones that taste like Snickerdoodle cookies? Well, that makes for a winner in my book! I think this “muffin” could easily pass for a cupcake.
Snickerdoodle Cookie Muffins Recipe:
In fact, the batter is made like several other cake batters I’ve done with the alternating of dry and wet ingredients in the end. Smear a whipped cream cheese frosting on the top and you’ve got the cupcakes for your next Birthday Party! Seriously, they’re that good. And indulgent for breakfast. We only have a few left, so that should tell you how good they are 🙂
Snickerdoodle Cookie Muffins Ingredients:
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
2-1/4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1-1/4 cups sour cream
1/2 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for rolling
How To Make Snickerdoodle Cookie Muffins:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line muffin pan with paper liners.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until soft, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in vanilla, then add the eggs one at a time and mix until each is incorporated.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the flour mixture, alternating with the sour cream, to the sugar/butter mixture; starting and ending with the flour scraping the bowl if necessary.
Using a large scoop or spoon, scoop out muffin batter and drop into a shallow bowl filled with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll the muffin around in the mixture until it is completely covered.
Place in prepared muffin pan.
Continue scooping dough and rolling in cinnamon sugar mixture until all batter is used (you should get about 2 dozen).
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Enjoy!
