Snickerdoodle Muffins

Ingredients

2 sticks butter, Softened

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

2-¼ cups flour

¾ teaspoons baking powder

¾ teaspoons baking soda

¾ teaspoons cream of tartar

½ teaspoons salt

1 cup Greek yogurt

¼ cups Buttermilk (optional or make your own) http://frugalliving.about.com/od/condimentsandspices/r/Buttermilk_Sub.htm

FOR THE TOPPING:

⅔ cups sugar

2 Tablespoons cinnamon

Directions

1.       Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare a muffin tin with liners.

2.       In a mixer, combine the butter and sugar and cream until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and combine.

3.       In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients.

4.       Add half of the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the greek yogurt and buttermilk and mix to combine. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.

5.       In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.

6.       Roll together 2” diameter cookie dough balls and roll in the sugar/cinnamon mixture.

7.       Bake for 15-18 minutes or until they are just baked through. I went on the short side so that they were doughier.

I made these for a work bake sale and they were pretty popular. I didn’t use any buttermilk (because I didn’t have any) and I think that was okay. I also substituted greek yogurt for sour cream. They tasted just how you would imagine they would taste: snickerdoodle muffinsI will definitely make this recipe again!
