Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line muffin pan with 10 - 12 cupcake liners.

Cupcakes:

  • In large bowl, beat sugar, butter, and cookie butter until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla.
  • In separate small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, cloves, and nutmeg.

Notes

Frosting makes a good amount for flat roses if piping, or if spreading frosting on by hand. If you like a lot of frosting, however, 1.5X or double the recipe.
