Snickerdoodle

Do you remember Snickerdoodle cookies from childhood? I remember first having them at a girl scout bake-off. Sugar cookies rolled in cinnamon sugar? Amazing! They are such soft sweet delicious cookies. Well, yes, Martha and her people turned that cookie into a cupcake.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Last Saturday Jon and I woke up to the sound of engines idling and voices on megaphones. Turns out, our local firemen were doing their duty putting out a fire 2 doors down. Now, I've been visiting these firemen each holiday giving them a baked treat to thank them for serving on the holiday instead of being with their families.

It was kinda cool to watch them work (don't worry, everyone got out of the house and they put out the fire). And since I am a big fan of the firemen I decided they needed a treat from working so hard.

SO out came Martha and perusing the cupcakes to find one that could be made quickly (few steps) and with what I already had in the house. Hello, Snickerdoodles! Nice quick recipe with basic ingredients (plus Buttermilk which I already had) and the frosting was the 7 minute frosting -which I still had leftovers (the recipe for the frosting makes twice as much as needed previously). So here we go.

The batter was really easy to whip up. Now to re-inflate the frosting. It was incredible--it tasted just like the cookies, but in a rounder, fluffier form. Topping off the frosting with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar was a perfect finish.



Last Bite: Meet my future kids favorite cupcake! I would definitely keep these in the running. They are easy to whip up and so delicious. I'm sure vanilla frosting could be substituted for the "7" minute frosting and still render the cupcake a success.
