Snickerdoodle Duo

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

Cookies or cupcakes? That is the question.

Well, I couldn’t decide either. You see I’ve been mesmerized by a recipe for snickerdoodle cupcakes from Martha Stewart’s Cupcake Book. But, seeing as how I have never made snickerdoodle cookies, I had to make them, too. It’s only fair. Or at least it’s a good excuse… right?

These cookies were really easy to make and I’m not sure why I’ve never tried them before now. Maybe their name made them seem difficult or too fancy or something. Or, maybe it’s because they don’t have any chocolate in them. Yeah, that’s probably why. Recipes without chocolate usually get moved to the bottom of the list.

Snickerdoodles, prebaked

The cookie dough is rolled in cinnamon and sugar, which gives them their signature look when baked.

Simple and pretty!

Snickerdoodles

Here’s the original Snickerdoodle Recipe from marthastewart.com. It makes about 4 dozen cookies.

And here is how I tweaked it slightly to make about 20 cookies.

Snickerdoodle Cookies

Snickerdoodle Cookies

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. (I used one 14 X 20 and was able to get all 20 cookies on one sheet. Place about 3 inches apart and they won't bake into each other.)
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a mixer, cream butter, shortening, and sugar on medium for about 2 minutes. Add egg and mix until combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until combined.
  5. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Use a small 1-1/4 inch ice-cream scoop to form balls. Release in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll until covered. When coated, you can shape them in a nice round ball and place on the baking sheet. (reserve any leftover cinnamon sugar to top the cupcakes)
  7. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cookies begin to crack. Remove and let cool on a wire rack.

Now… time to make the cupcakes.

Here’s the original recipe from marthastewart.com that makes 28.

And here is how I tweaked it slightly to make enough for 12 cupcakes and 12 mini cupcakes (not shown).

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup milk, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line regular and miniature cupcake trays with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium for about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time and mix until combined. Add vanilla and mix until combined.
  4. Add flour mixture to creamed butter and sugar in three additions. Alternate with milk in two additions.
  5. Fill baking cups about 3/4 full. Bake for about 15-20 minutes. Remove cupcakes from trays and let cool.

Notes

Make this seven minute frosting. To decorate, pipe on frosting, place one cookie on top and then pipe another dollop of frosting on top. Sprinkle with leftover cinnamon and sugar from the Snickerdoodle cookie recipe.

Store in an airtight container.

Seven-Minute Frosting

While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting. I used the same one Martha recommends. It’s a Seven-Minute Frosting. Recipe here.

I’ve gotta tell you… I’d definitely make the cookies and cupcakes again… they were yummy. But I think I would have to try them with another frosting. The seven minute frosting was kind of a pain to make and couple that with the fact that I’m not a big fan of light and airy or meringue-tasting frostings… well, I don’t think I’ll be making it again anytime soon.

But they sure do look cute.

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

By the way, did you even notice these super adorable cupcake pedestals? They come in a box of 6. Thank you Naomi, for sending me the link. And, the brown cupcake liners are from www.confectioneryhouse.com.

  1. I would love the cookie book. I have been dieing to dive in to it. I already have the cupcake book and am devouring it. The snicker doodle cupcake is my favorite so far.

  2. Cookies please

  3. Mmmm, cookies please!

  4. I can never have too many cupcake cookbooks! I would love to add this cupcake book to my collection!

  5. Oh… to choose between the two would be like choosing between air and water…. And they are Martha?! Wow, um… cupcakes. There. I chose but don’t tell cookies!

  6. I would LOVE that Cupcake book!

  7. Cookies, pretty please!

    I just got the Cupcake book and would love to add the Cookie book to my collection. Her books are fantastic.

  8. Snickerdoodles were the very first cookie i was allowed to bake by myself. I remember looking through my mom’s Betty Crocker CookBook and the name just appealed to my 7or8 yr old self. They have become my standard cookie and i always triple the batch whenever I make them. As for which book I would choose? Do I have too? lol well if you twist my arm I would have to pick the cupcake book this time. Thanks :o)

  9. Hmm, I’m torn…but I’ll have to say cupcakes!

    Thanks for hosting another giveaway!

  10. I would love to try out the cookie book. I have to cupcake book and have loved trying out all the great recipes.

  11. Tough choice but cupcakes win with me!

  12. Yum…this sugar-induced coma should be the ultimate sweet fix! The cupcake book would be my choice and thanks!

  13. Cookies please! :)
    FYI: You have been so inspireing to me with all the diffrent things you have come up with! The Hello Kitty Pops, Football Oreo Truffles, Fathers Day Fast Food…Amazing! You’ve helped and inspired me to try and find things with in the “everyday boxes” to livein’ things up a bit for my 3 kiddos and hubby. Thanks for such a great website for my family to enjoy!

  14. Probably the cookie book as my daughters and I have a cookie exchange every December and I am always looking for a good cookie to bake. This has become a real tradition among our friends.

  15. I would love to have the Marth Stewart Cupcake cookbook. I have a friend who has the book and says that the recipes are wonderful.. I love making cupcakes they seem so very special, just for the person who is taking the BIG BITE.

  16. Martha Stewart & Cupcakes – wow, perfection in a book! ;)

  17. Cookie most definitely. Cupcakes and I don’t get along….its actually the frosting of cupcakes that doesn’t work for me.

  18. I think I’d have to pick the cookie book. As much as we love cupcakes my daughters and I love to bake cookies together and the more options the better. :)

  19. Cookies!

  20. Cupcakes, definitely!

  21. I would love either book, but if I have to choose…cupcakes!

  22. I just LOVE these books and having either one would be amazing, but I’m going to go with the cupcake book. I really like making new kinds of cupcakes and who better to get recipes from than Martha?

  23. Love these! I remember making snickerdoodle cookies back when I was a kid – but it’s been ages. And to combine with a cupcake!? Umm…heaven!!

    I would love the cupcake book – I already have her cookie one! :)

    Great contest and as always, another great idea!!

    Love your blog – thank you!

  24. I would love to have either of these books but really…..That cupcake book looks right up my alley. My husband and I have been doing the new fad crazy HCG diet. We have both lost a ton of weight on it. One of the main reasons I think we have lost the weight is cutting out sugar for the past two months. We are coming up very quickly on our “off maitenance” of the diet and the one thing I have wanted for the past 35 days is the BEST, the BIGGEST, the PRETTIEST cupcake I can find…Making a fabulous recipe from Martha’s book would be so fun. I think I deserve this book since…while I have been dieting… I have made my children several sets of fun cupcakes and they devoured them in front of me and I didn’t even grimace once. I also took several cupcakes to neighbors.. Little did they know that it was a plan of mine so I didn’t have extra sweets sitting around my kitchen to be consummed when no one was watching.

  25. OOOOOOOOOOOOH!
    I have the Martha Stewart Cupcakes book, and I love it, and I didn’t even know that a Martha Stewart Cookie Book existed! I would love the cookie book and could do some real damage with both of those books together! I love your website and thought I should say that you are a baking inspiration to all those professional and home bakers everywhere!

  26. I think the Cupcake book is the one I’d prefer.

    WIth those beautiful pictures from the book, how can one choose.

  27. Oh My, How do I decide? I guess I would have to choose the cupcake book. There are SO many fun ways to decorate cupcakes!

  28. I was thinking cookies, but my daughter Jazzy saw this and said, ohhhhhhhhhh CUPCAKES!!!! pretty CUPCAKES!

  29. Ohhh… Emmmm…. GEEE!!! I guess I’d have to say the cookie book, but only because the pictures on the open pages you photographed looked like things that taunt me in my sleep! YUMMMY!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  30. Reading this entry made me realize how long it’s been since I’ve had a good snickerdoodle. Going to make some tonight!!!

    Martha’s cookies always look AMAZING! I would loveee the cookie book!!!

  31. Oh man, I can’t choose. But since I have to, I’ll say….cookies!

  32. I would love to have the cookie book! I bake cookies with my kids often and would love some new inspiration!

  33. Cookie book for me! I just love making cookies and giving them as gifts around the holidays! My in-laws always seem to look forward to my cookie trays; they get my new experiments every year =)

  34. COOKIES!! for the sheer fact that I already have “cupcakes”!!

  82. Cupcake heaven!!!! Just gotta have the cupcake book

  84. Wow!!! I love all the great ideas on your site. I love it, I read all of your post in one day, I was hooked :D i have already tried the lolipop cupcakes, they were a hit.

    Both books are great and it makes it hard to choose although I like baking cupcakes, I think cookies are easier to package for gift giving during the x-mas season. mmmm unless you post a really creative way to package up cupcakes….I cant wait for your next post :D

  85. CUPCAKES!!!!! Oh how I love to bake cupcakes!!

  86. Oh gosh…to choose… to choose….CUPCAKES please! Thank you for this splendid offer!

  87. Cupcakes? or Cookies? Tough decisions . . . . but I think I would prefer Cookies over cupcakes!!!

  88. OMG I have to choose just one hahaha….ahhhhh.such a hard choice to make this early in the morning hahaha….if I must choose…then it would have to be the cupcakes! They are soooooo much fun to make and I love coming up with new and exciting ways to give them my own special twist:) YAY for cupcakes….and cookies!:)

  89. Since I have several cookie cookbooks, and I don’t have any cupcake cookbooks, I would love the cupcake cookbook!

  90. I would love the cupcake one! so many possiblities!

  91. I am the original cookie monster, although I’ve heard that the cookie monster is now the “veggie monster”, can you believe it? So, as much as I love cupcake recipes, I think would use the cookie recipes more.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win,

    Wendy

  92. Wow…I’ve honestly never seen someone make snickerdoodles look so appetizing! It makes me want to go whip up a batch right now. :)

    And with that said, I’m more of a cookie baker…so if I could have either of those books, I’d go with the cookie book. ;)

  93. The cupcake book sounds great, but I would be happy with either. These turned out so cute! :)

  94. I make some pretty mean cookies, but I don’t have much experience with cupcakes. They’re the new frontier :) I would rather have the cupcake book.

  95. mmmm… you are so creative – who da thunk – snickerdoodle cupcakes ;) But I would have to go with the cookie book as I always have an afterschool crowd to feed ;)

  96. I would LOOOOOOVE the cookie book! Every holiday season my mom and I spend a few days baking new cookies to make cookie baskets for all of our friends and family!

  97. They both look divine, but I think the cupcake book is calling my name.

  98. The cupcake book, I love cupcakes!

  99. I’d love the cookie cookbook!

  100. I would LOVE to win the cookie cookbook!! Cookies are my weakness. :-)

  101. Gracious…I’d really rather have a book written by you since you’re the one that I always copy! But since I have to choose one of Martha’s… Cupcakes! But really… you should consider writing your own tutorial book!

  102. The cookie book looks so great! It would definitely be my pick.

  104. I woould love the cookie cookbook!!!! although the cupcake one is tempting too!!!

  105. my gosh that’s a hard decision! if only Martha would take your idea and make a Cookie/Cupcake Duo book! If i had to choose though, cupcakes!

  108. Cupcakes!! :)

  109. CUPCAKES! Duh! They are prettier and have icing!

  123. I have the cupcake book and it is AMAZING!!! I need to complete my collection with the cookie book!

  124. I’m a cookie girl at heart – but could use some cupcake tips so I’d have to say you pick. I’ll be trying both of today’s recipes as soon as I get a break in the schedule because snickerdoodles are my most favorite food ever, my Tasty Kitchen profile even says so.

  125. I’d love that cookie book! And what a great idea, making a cookie and cupcake duo – how neat! Too bad the frosting didn’t turn out to your liking.

  126. So hard to choose!!! I think i’d rather go with cookies, though. Your combo looks delicious! :)

  127. COOKIES PLEASE! Cupcakes are fun but cookies can be EVERYDAY! Yum!

  128. I would love the cookie book, THANKS!

  129. I would love to have the cookie cookbook. I try to have a cookie bake once a year with all the girls in my family. Since mom has passed on, this is a wonderful way to stay in touch with the family and get our holiday baking done at the same time. Makes for a wonderful day!
    Thanks,
    Carol Ann

  141. I would love the cookie cookbook. I love cookies!

  142. I’m definitely a cookie girl, esp. since I’m married to Cookie Monster! Snickerdoodles are a fave at our house – they’re so easy but yummy!

  143. I would love to have the cupcake book! :-)

  144. Martha Stewart cookies, yum…Yes to the cookie cookbook! (Although I don’t have a cupcake cook book yet either…hmmm!)
    I’m off to make some Snickerdoodles!

  145. I would love the have the cupcake cookbook!

  146. I would love the cookie cookbook, though it’s a hard choice…

  147. I would love the Cupcake book!!! My daughter looks at it every time we are in the bookstore!

  148. The cupcake book. Cupcakes just make me smile :)

  149. You say it’s an easy decision… but I’m not so sure… :) This time I’m going to side with the cookie book. I’m hoping to host a cookie exchange at my house in December, so this would be perfect!!
    *Thank you for the fun giveaway (and as always, the inspiration)!

  150. I cannot wait to make these cupcakes. My husband loves snickerdoodles. I would really enjoy the cookie book though, as i have 3 little cookie monsters running around.

  151. I’ve never been picky when it comes to either! If forced to choose, I think I would go for the cookies book. What a fun giveaway! Thanks, Bakerella!

  152. WOW…they both look like amazing books, it’s so hard to choose. I already make so many cakes, I think I need a few more cookies in my life! I’m going to say I want the cookie book! My son Braden LOVES to help me bake, and he LOVES cookies…so this would be perfect! :)

  153. Oh… those look yummy! I would love to have the cookie book.

  154. I want the cookie one!

  155. I’ve never been picky when it comes to either! If forced to choose, I think I would go for the cookies book. What a fun giveaway! Thanks, Bakerella!

    http://captainmicah.blogspot.com

  156. I’m SUCH a cookie monster :) I’d love to get my grubby hands on the cookie book!

  157. I would love to get the cupcakes book! I’ve been receiving Martha’s “Cookie a Day” emails and have been testing those out.

    I’m with you regarding the chocolate factor. I just tried making her “Carrot Cake Cookies” (soon to appear on my blog) and while they were good, they just weren’t as good as a chocolately cookie :)

    Thanks!

  158. I would be thankful to have the cupcake book. Just started baking cupcakes twice and this book will surely help and inspire me to bake more. Dont even own a book on cupcakes yet!

  159. I would love to win the cookie cookbook! It would be a great way to experiment with different recipes for the Holidays!! Love the look of your website

  160. both both are so delicious. *_* although you do get a wider variety with cookies (and i still need to get my sugar cookies down pat), so i’d have to go with that – although around me they both disappear at an equally alarming rate!

  161. For me it’s cookies (biscuits) always. You can’t dip a cupcake (fairy cake :P) into your cup of tea.

  162. Would love to win one of these!

    Not a great chance with over 1,000 comments though…

  163. Talk about hard decisions…cookies or cupcakes. If I don’t stop trying all your wonderful receipes and ideas I will need bigger pants! My grandchildren love cupcakes so it would have to be cupcakes. Thanks for sharing, it is like opening presents with your surprises.

  164. Your snickerdoodle cupcakes w cookie are making me drool! I’d love the cupcake book. With 2 kids, you can never have enough cupcake ideas! I love, love, love the cupcake stand. Going to check the link..

  165. my middle name is “cupcake” and I really want the cupcake book! :)

  166. Cupcakes!!! Please!

  167. I’m a cookie gal. And though I eventually want both of those books, I’d take the cookie one first! ;)
    Fun Snickerdoodle cupcake/cookies!

  168. I would love to have the Martha Stewart Cupcake book.

  169. The Cookie Cookbook would really make my day! Baking is my thing, and I don’t have any recipe books… But having one would be great to experiment with and get better at baking with! :D

  170. I would love the cookie book.

  171. Definitely Cookies!! Cakes/cupcakes are my sister’s arena. I’m all about the cookies.

  172. Cupcakes! I love, love, love all cupcakes.

  173. I’d rather have the cupcake book. There’s something about FORMING the cookies (drop, slice, whatever) that I just HATE! I have a friend who volunteers to bake the cookies if I make the dough. Then, we just share the results! Perfect arrangement! Thanks for the giveaway!

  174. Those books would get a lot of use in my house…..I have a 12 year old that loves to bake and always turns to the computer for inspiration. Thanks!!!!

  175. I like cookies and cupcakes, but I think I need to increase my cookie knowledge, so I’d probably choose the cookie book. Yum yum yum!

  176. How can I decide? They are both so beautiful. I’d take either book but if I have to choose . . . cookies!

  177. oh i just love your blog. and martha stewart is awesome. cookies or cupcakes…that really is the question.

  178. My husband is a Cookie Monster. I would love the Cookie Cookbook! They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. I want to continue to find my way to his heart :)

  179. I would rather have the cupcake book. I love making cupcakes for all different occassions. I love your Blog!!! It makes me want to travel to all these different locations!

  180. Oh, I would love the cupcake book! Thanks so much for all you do.

  181. Now you have me thinking about all the other great combos I could try! Either book would be lovely.

  182. Cookies!

  183. Cookies, Cookies, Cookies!!!

  184. oooo. cookies!

  185. I can’t get a gourmet cupcake anywhere around here so I have to make them myself. I would love that cupcake book!

  186. Honestly I’m more of a cookie kind of girl….don’t get me wrong I do love cupcakes. It’s just cookies are easier to hide in your pockets, or shove in your mouth when my husband or little ones come around….as a mom I don’t get much to myself so I sneak cookies when I can…. :O)

  187. cupcake book!! it’s only Monday morning and there are already over 1500 comments… W O W. I’m keeping my fingers double crossed.
