Caramel Snickerdoodles 🎄 31 Days of Cookies

What’s better than a warm snickerdoodle on a cold December evening? A caramel-filled snickerdoodle with a gooey melted caramel surprise in the center. I didn’t think that a snickerdoodle could be improved upon and then I tasted these cookies. Now I’m not sure if I can ever go back to the original. Because let’s just say it again—a caramel-filled snickerdoodle.

Ingredients

1 cup butter
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cream of tarter
3 cups flour
Cinnamon and sugar for dusting
1 bag of caramel squares

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F. Cream butter and sugars together at medium speed. Add eggs, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cream of tarter. Slowly incorporate the flour. Once the batter has formed, chill for 30 minutes. Scoop chilled dough into 3-inch balls. Flatten with hand. Place caramel square in the center and form ball. Dust with cinnamon and sugar. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350° F for 10-12 minutes. Serve warm.
