Snickerdoodle cupcakes

Tomorrow is my sweetheart's birthday..and because he loves snickerdoodle cookies so much, I decided to bake up these cupcakes to celebrate. The recipe comes from Martha
Stewart's "Cupcakes" cookbook.

1 1/2c. flour
1 1/2 c. cake flour
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 T. cinnamon
1 c. butter, softened
1 3/4c. sugar
4 eggs
2 t. vanilla
1 1/4c. milk
Preheat oven to 350. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
Sift together the flours, baking powder,salt and cinnamon.
With your beater on medium speed cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to to low and alternately add
flour and milk. Put into muffin tins, filling 3/4 of way to top. Bake around 20 minutes.

Frosting
6-8 oz. softened cream cheese
1 c. butter
1 t. vanilla
4 c. powdered sugar
Cream together butter and cream cheese on high for 2 minutes. Add vanilla. On low speed mix in powdered sugar. Frost cooled cupcakes then sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar and a mini snickerdoodle cookie ( I made regular snickerdoodle cookie dough and just rolled them into teaspoon size balls and baked them for 5 minutes)
