And last on our cookie list this week was for my bestie's birthday! She LOVES Snickerdoodles and I try to find different versions to make for her birthday. I've made Snickerdoodle Cupcakes with Cinnamon Swirl Frosting, Pumpkin Snickerdoodles and Mrs. Sigg’s Snickerdoodle Whoopie Pies. And Now I came across Caramel Stuffed Snickerdoodle Cookies on Yellow Bliss Road.
I saved one cookie each for my boys and the loved them, my husband of course just wanted the caramel's .. lol. The only thing I came across was the caramel is nice a gooey out of the oven but after time it goes back to it's hard form. I doubled the recipe and as usual my cookies where a little on the LARGE side. I may need to invest in that scoop to make smaller perfect shaped cookies!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 18 caramels, unwrapped
- For Rolling:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl cream together the butter and 1 cup of sugar. Add egg and vanilla and beat until blended.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. Add to the wetingredients and mix well until a nice dough forms.
- Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 Tbsp cinnamon together in a shallow dish and set aside.
- Divide dough and roll into balls about 2 Tbsp in size. (Using a cookie scoop is very helpful for this). Flatten each ball of dough with the palm of your hand and place a caramel in the center. Wrap the dough completely around the caramel and roll into a ball again. Roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool on cookie sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cook completely.
- Store in a tightly sealed container for up to one week. Do not refrigerate as it will harden the caramel.
