Caramel Stuffed Snickerdoodle Cookies

Hi guys. So today we're going to be making some delicious caramel stuffed snickedoodles. And no there aren't any snickers involved.

1 1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup softened butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 larger egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10-13 caramel squares

Cinnamon sugar coating
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

In a large mixing bowl, combine your flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and cream of tartar.

In a separate bowl, using a stand mixer or handheld mixer beat the sugar and butter until it's light and fluffy. Next add in your egg and vanilla.

Now you can add your flour mixture about half cup at a time. Mix it all until well combined. Repeat this step until you have cookie dough*.

*Tip: if your dough isn't looking like dough, just make and add more of your flour mixture*

Wrap your dough with plastic wrap and chill your dough for anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 days. I chilled mine overnight. (If you're short on time, you can put it in the freezer for10 minutes)

Ok here comes the fun part. Get your dough and scoop about a tablespoon of it and roll it into balls. Flatten each ball and place your caramel in the middle. Reseal the ball and roll back into a ball.

Mix cinnamon and sugar for the topping
Stir your rolled balls into the sugar mixture to your heart's desire.

Place your cookies on cookie sheet and bake them at 350° degrees for 10-12 minutes for larger cookies, for smaller cookies bake them for 9-11 minutes.

If you want, you could make a caramel sauce and add any toppings to your snickerdoodles, for example, I added almonds
