Hey friends! First up, I need to admit that I’m not a huge baker. I like to make fun treats, but I’m generally not one to be super innovative with making up my own desserts. However, I do have a few things that I like to pride myself in making and these Snickerdoodle Cupcakes with Cool Whip Frosting is one of those things!

A simple way to make Snickerdoodle Cupcakes using a Cake Box Mix.
Prep Time10 minutes
mins
Cook Time22 minutes mins
Total Time32 minutes mins
Author: Over The Big Moon

Ingredients

Cupcakes

  • 1 Yellow Cake Box Mix
  • Ingredients listed on your Cake Box Mix eggs, oil
  • 2 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp Sugar

For Frosting

  • 1 3.5 oz Instant Vanilla Pudding mix
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 8 oz Cool Whip
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

For the Cupcakes

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Make the Cake mix according to the box directions.
  • Mix in the 2 tbsp Cinnamon and 2 tbsp Sugar into the cake mix.
  • Place cupcake liners in the cupcake pan.
  • Pour ⅓ cup of the cupcake mixture into each cupcake liner.
  • Cook according to the directions on the Cake Box and allow to cool completely before frosting.

For the Frosting

  • Pour the pudding mix in a medium sized bowl and add the milk and vanilla. Whisk (or beat) the ingredients together until they’re blended and the mixture begins to thicken.
  • Fold the Cool Whip, Cinnamon and Sugar into the pudding mixture. DO NOT over mix. You just want to fold it softly until it's combined.
  • Pipe onto the cupcakes using a piping bag or ziplock bag (with the corner cut off).

Notes

ENJOY!

The Cool Whip frosting is so light and refreshing and my favorite for simple cupcakes! You could totally use a cream cheese frosting for these too, just make sure and add the cinnamon and sugar!

I hope you love them as much as I do!

    Good morning, on the recipe you say to use the ingredients on the box of cake mix. Do I need to add the water as well?
