Yes, you read that title right. These are some seriously amped up snickerdoodles. Because they are made with browned butter and lots of brown sugar, they are much crunchier and flavorful than traditional snickerdoodles. I also added caramel bits to the dough and salt to the rolling mixture to incorporate that delicious salted caramel flavor into the cookie. It’s basically a one-way ticket to Flavor Town.
I am not sure there is any point during the year that I wouldn’t want to eat these cookies, but they are especially perfect in the fall. Warm up a mug of apple cider and grab a few of these cookies, and you have yourself a perfect night.
