Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

During high school I worked at a high-end cookie shoppe. I consider myself a connoisseur of sorts when it comes to cookies despite the fact that I neither baked nor decorated them. I think snickerdoodles sometimes get lost in the cookie shuffle because there’s no chocolate in them. But let’s not forget how good the classic combo of cinnamon and sugar is.

A snickerdoodle cupcake has all the qualities of it’s namesake cookie but is even better because it’s so fluffy and moist. The idea of a snickerdoodle cupcake was brilliant. Why didn’t I think of it? The cinnamon made my house smell great while baking and the cupcake itself was mouthwatering. My genius sister thought of mixing in milk chocolate Heath toffee bits at the last minute, and that just put them over the top.

Note: The original recipe called for a 7-minute frosting but I wasn’t satisfied with the way it turned out. Rather than pipe my cupcakes with a frosting I wasn’t thrilled with I chose to trash it and go with a basic buttercream frosting, which I’ve included.
