Ingredients:
• 21/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter cut into tablespoon pieces
• 11/4 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
• 18 caramels cut in half
• Flaked sea salt for sprinkling on top of cookies
For the Cinnamon Sugar:
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
2. To brown the butter, heat a thick-bottomed skillet on medium heat.
Add the sliced butter, whisking frequently. Continue to cook the butter until melted. The butter start to foam and browned specks will begin to form at the bottom of the pan. The butter should have a nutty aroma. Watch the butter carefully because it can go from brown to burnt quickly. Remove butter from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the brown butter and sugars. Mix until blended. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt and mix until combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
4. Form the dough in a ball and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
You can chill the dough overnight or for up to 2 days.
5. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Measure about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Flatten the ball slightly with the palm of your hand and place a caramel piece in the center of the dough. Wrap the cookie dough around the caramel, making sure the cara is completely covered with dough.
6. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar.
Roll the balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place dough balls on a large baking sheet that has been lined with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper.
Make sure the cookies are about 2 inches apart
Sprinkle the cookie tops with salt
7. Bake the cookies 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown. The centers will still be soft. Don't over bake. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, or until set. Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack and cool completely.

Brown Butter Salted Caramel Snickerdoodles are not just any cookies; they combine the nutty flavor of brown butter with the delightful surprise of caramel in each bite. To create the perfect texture and flavor, it’s essential to follow a few key steps. First, browning the butter gives the cookies a rich depth that brings out the sweetness without being overly sugary. This process involves heating the butter in a thick-bottomed pan until it melts and develops a nutty aroma, a technique that transforms the flavor profile of traditional recipes. When it comes to ingredients, ensure you have quality brown sugar and a good sea salt for sprinkling, which significantly enhance the overall flavor. The recipe calls for chilling the dough, which is a crucial step that allows the flavors to meld and results in a better texture after baking. By letting it chill for at least 30 minutes, or longer if possible, you create a cookie that has the perfect balance of crisp edges and soft, chewy centers. For an additional treat, consider experimenting with different types of filling, like flavored caramels or even chocolate chips, to customize your snickerdoodles to your liking. As you roll the cookies in cinnamon sugar, remember that this is not just for flavor but also creates a beautiful, crackled appearance on the cookie's surface once baked. With these tips and a bit of patience, your Brown Butter Salted Caramel Snickerdoodles will be irresistible! This cookie recipe is ideal for sharing at gatherings, gifting, or satisfying your sweet cravings at home.
