I was reading the Gooseberry Patch The Christmas Table cookbook and found this Snickerdoodle Muffin Recipe. I just had to try them out! I am a huge fan of snickerdoodle cookies and figured the muffins would be amazing too.
Snickerdoodle Muffin Recipe
One thing I learned making these is it takes a fine balance of cinnamon sugar topping to muffin dough. If you decide to go a bit hog wild and coat the muffins like crazy you end up with cracked muffins that still taste good but are not very pretty.
Ingredients

Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.
