Sugar Cookie Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting image

I found this recipe through a couple websites pinned on Pinterest. I adjusted the frosting to my preference. I really liked the flavor of the cupcakes, but I may try using sour cream instead of half and half next time

Time 48m

Yield 12 Cupcakes, 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup half-and-half
frosting
4 tablespoons cream cheese (half a brick)
3 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 -5 tablespoons half-and-half

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. At least 2 minutes, longer with a hand held mixer.
  • Mix in eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl with each addition.
  • Add vanilla.
  • Add salt and baking powder and mix just until combined.
  • Incorporate flour, mixture will be thick.
  • Add in half and half and mix thoroughly.
  • Original directions say to divide batter into 12 cupcakes, I got 14 and they were all filled well.
  • Bake 18 to 20 minute If you are new to baking with your oven check them at 16 minute Mine were done in 18. I checked mine with a toothpick, needs to come out clean.
  • Cool cupcakes.
  • To make frosting, allow both the butter and cream cheese to come to room temperature. If it is a hot day don't let them get too warm.
  • Cream the butter and cream cheese for at least 3 minute You should NOT be able to tell that you have 2 ingredients in the bowl. You want a light yellow color with a fluffy look.
  • Add powdered sugar one cup at a time, incorporating well. Don't forget to scrape the bowl frequently! :).
  • Add vanilla and 2 tablespoons of half and half. Check consistency for frosting, add more half and half until you are happy with the thickness of your frosting.
  • Frost and enjoy.

These cupcakes are so cute! I decorated them with sprinkles and mini sugar cookies.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond flour for the all-purpose flour. The cupcakes still turned out great!

These cupcakes are the perfect size for a party. They're small enough that you can have two or three without feeling too guilty.

These cupcakes were a disaster! The batter was too thick, and the cupcakes came out dense and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The cupcakes were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These cupcakes were a hit! The sugar cookie base was perfectly soft and chewy, and the cream cheese frosting was light and fluffy. I added a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar to the tops before baking, which gave them a nice extra flavor.
