Description

Delightful cookies that combine classic cinnamon flavor with a gooey caramel center.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 20 soft caramel candies
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  6. Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it slightly, and place a caramel candy in the center.
  7. Wrap the dough around the caramel, sealing it completely so that the caramel is hidden inside.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar coating.
  9. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  10. Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
