Preheat your oven to 325 degrees (F), and line a 12-count cupcake pan with paper liners.
2

Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with just a few crumbs. Let cool completely before frosting. Makes 12 cupcakes.

Cream butter and cream cheese together with an electric mixer until well combined. Gradually add in the sugar until fully incorporated. Finally mix in cinnamon and vanilla. I used a Wilton 1M tip to frost the cupcakes.
