Our favorite snickerdoodle recipe stuffed them with ooey gooey caramel. When you bite into these Caramel Stuffed Snickerdoodles, the result is out of this world!
With an electric mixer, cream together the butter, shortening, and sugar. Add the egg and beat until creamy.
Add the baking soda, salt, cream of tarter, and flour. Mix until blended.
Unwrap the caramels.
Shape the dough into 1 tablespoons size balls. (I use a 1 tablespoon size ice cream scoop.)
Wrap the cookie dough around each caramel or divide the cookie dough into two smaller balls. Press your thumb into each one. Add the caramel in the center and press the edges together.
Gentle roll into a ball.
Add the cinnamon and sugar in a separate small bowl. Roll the cookie dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12 minutes and remove from baking sheet. These cookies firm up as they cool.
