mmm cupcakes

These are Snickerdoodle cupcakes from the dessert cookbook "desserts that have killed better men than me" by Jeremy Jackson. I don't normally like sweets but have a soft spot for snickerdoodle cookies, so I couldn't pass up trying to make these.

quick and easy meal

Both of my kids loved this (I opted NOT to tell them that there was salad dressing in the recipe - neither of them like it) and it took no time at all to make!
