Caramel Filled Snickerdoodles Recipes

SALTED CARAMEL SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Make the snickerdoodle cookies: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, cream of tartar and kosher salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined. Whisk 1 cup of the sugar, the butter, vanilla and egg together in a large bowl until well combined. Pour in the flour mixture and stir with a spoon until the dough just combines.
• Stir together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon in a small bowl. Using a 1/2-ounce ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, portion and roll the dough into 30 (1-inch) balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar to coat, and then transfer to the prepared baking sheets, spacing the balls 2 inches apart. Using the end of a wooden spoon or your index finger, press each dough ball in the center to create a deep divot. Refrigerate the dough balls on the baking sheets for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the cookies, rotating the baking sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until light golden brown on the bottom, about 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 1 minute on the baking sheets, and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the salted caramel filling: Pour the sugar in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook the sugar, stirring occasionally, until it turns liquid and deep amber brown. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter until smooth. Add the cream and kosher salt and stir until incorporated. Fill the divot in each cookie with the hot caramel and sprinkle with sea salt. Let the caramel cool for 30 minutes to set before serving.

SALTED CARAMEL-STUFFED SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Line cookie sheet with waxed paper or foil. Spoon 40 slightly less than level measuring teaspoonfuls dulce de leche onto cookie sheet. Freeze about 1 hour or until slightly firm (will not freeze solid).
• Heat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups sugar, the butter, shortening and eggs. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Press thumb into center of each cookie to make deep indentation, but do not press all the way to cookie sheet. Place 1 dollop of the dulce de leche into center of each cookie, making sure to form dough around dollop to enclose. If necessary, work with lightly floured fingers so dough doesn't stick. You may have to return dulce de leche dollops to freezer if they become too warm to work with.
• Mix 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the cinnamon. Roll balls in sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set (centers will be soft). Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

CARAMEL SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar.
• Add the egg and egg yolk and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Dump this dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Don't over-mix!
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon powder, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
• Chill this dough for at least an hour so that it's easier to handle.
• Scoop out small portions of the dough and shape them into small balls. Flatten them on the palm of your hands and place a caramel in the center. Then, roll them into a ball shapes again.
• In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar.
• Roll the cookie dough balls in this bowl of cinnamon sugar. Place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper. If you like, you can flatten them slightly with the palm of your hands (results in thinner cookies).
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are firm and golden brown and the centers are slightly soft. Enjoy!

CARAMEL FILLED SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• Beat together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy.
• Mix in the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the vanilla extract.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Mix until soft dough forms.
• Scoop dough, 2 tbsp at a time, and flatten into a disc in your palm. Place a piece of caramel on the disc and wrap the sides of the dough around the caramels until they are completely sealed inside.
• Roll the dough into a ball and coat in cinnamon sugar before placing on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack immediately to cool.

EASY CARAMEL FILLED SNICKERDOODLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° F.
• In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar using a hand or standing mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-4 minutes.). Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until fully incorprated.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cream of tartar and baking soda. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix just until combined.
• Roll the dough into small balls and then press into them (as shown above) to make a small imprint. Place the caramel in the dough and close the dough over top of it to make a ball. Make sure there is enough dough surrounding the caramel so that it doesn't melt through the bottom of the cookie completely. You can opt for just 1/2 of a caramel in each cookie if preferred.
• Mix the sugar and cinnamon for rolling together and then roll each ball into the mixture to fully coat. Place on a cookie sheet (I always line mine with parchment) 2 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges become golden.
• Cool on a cooling rack (don't worry, taste several when getting them there, I know that's what we are all gonna do!) and store in an airtight container.

BROWN BUTTER SALTED CARAMEL SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cream of tarter, cinnamon, and set aside.
• To brown the butter, heat a medium saucepan to medium high heat. Add the sliced butter, whisking frequently. You will notice the butter starting to become frothy on the top and brown specks will start to form along the bottom. You have to watch it closely because the turn happens quickly and you don't want it to burn. You will start to smell a nutty aroma and once it turns to a brown color, remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
• While the butter is cooling, cut the carmel squares into 1/4's.
• In a stand mixer, combine the brown butter and brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. (The 1/4 cup sugar will be used for rolling in the cookies). Mix until blended and smooth.
• Beat in egg, yolk, vanilla and yogurt and mix until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients until combined.
• Form the dough into a ball and cover with plastic. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Once you are ready to bake preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Measure about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Flatten the ball and place 1-2 caramel squares inside, wrap the cookie dough over the caramel and roll back into a ball. Make sure it is completely covered so that the caramel won't stick to the pan.
• Mix 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and roll each cookie in the mixture. Place on a cookies on a parchment lined cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt. (I used course sea salt)
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly brown. The centers will be soft. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes, and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
