Snickerdoodles with Dulce de Leche

These warm cinnamon cookies have a dollop of dulce de leche in the center.

Ingredients

For the Cookies

• 1/2 c. salted butter, softened
• 1 c. dark brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 c. bread flour
• 1 can of dulce de leche

For the Sugar Mixture

• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• Stir to combine

Yields Approximately 2 Dozen Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat to combine. In a bowl, stir together the salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and flour. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Using tablespoon-sized scoops of dough, roll each scoop in the sugar mixture. Place the dough onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Press each dough ball with thumb to make a hole. Place a teaspoon of dulce de leche in each hole. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies are golden brown and cracked slightly.
