Snickerdoodle Mini Muffins

Remember when I told you how much my family loves Snickerdoodle Cookies? If not, you can read about it  and get our favorite recipe here.
Last week, I busted out my mini muffin tin. I wanted to try a different kind of muffin, so I searched out a good basic muffin recipe. There were lots of recipes that I read where I liked one thing, but not another. I decided to experiment and take what I liked best from each recipe and come up with my own.
The result was yummy, if I do say so myself! The muffins were just sweet enough and they were nice and moist.

My kids LOVED them! They are best right out of the oven when the tops are still a bit crispy. After sitting a while the tops do get soft, but they still taste good.
