  • Combine the cinnamon-sugar ingredients in a shallow bowl, set a side.
  • Make the snickerdoodles:Cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg, flour. Divide the dough into 12 equal balls, flatten into disks which are roughly the width of a muffin. Coat in cinnamon-sugar. Stack them up and set aside.
  • Add 2 tbsp of flour to the remaining cinnamon-sugar, and use it to dust each cavity of the greased muffin pan.

Notes

- use half the egg (2 tbsp) for the snickerdoodles, and save the rest for the muffin batter.
