How to Make Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

Step 1: Prepare the oven and pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a cupcake pan with paper or foil liners.

Step 2: Mix dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3: Cream butter and sugar

In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes.

Step 4: Add eggs

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully combined.

Step 5: Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture.

Stir in milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

Beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes.

Step 6: Fill cupcake liners

Use a large ice cream scoop to fill each cupcake liner about halfway full.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8: Make the frosting

Beat butter until creamy.

Gradually add powdered sugar, cinnamon, and heavy cream.

Beat until fluffy.

Step 9: Frost and finish

Frost the cooled cupcakes generously, then sprinkle with a mix of cinnamon and brown sugar.

What to Serve It With

Pumpkin spice latte for a cozy fall treat

Hot chocolate or coffee for a wintery snack

Fruit salad for a lighter contrast
