Sugar Cookie Muffins

These muffins are incredibly soft and fluffy. They also happen to taste exactly like sugar cookies. So if you're in the mood for a sugar cookie, but don't want the hassle of rolling out dough - makes these easy muffins.


3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar for rolling
  1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a muffin tin.
  2. Beat together sugar and eggs until light in color.
  3. Add flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Stir to combine. Pour in vegetable oil, milk and vanilla. Mix.
  4. Divide batter into 12 muffin cups. Bake 15-18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  5. When muffins come out of the oven, melt butter and pour remaining sugar into a small bowl. Dip the top of each muffin in the melted butter and then dip in sugar. Cool on a wire rack.
