Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
1. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced butter and whisk until melted. Continue to whisk as the butter begins to cook. As it browns it will start to foam and will have a nutty aroma. Pay careful attention not to burn the butter, it can turn quickly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

2.While the butter is cooling, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.

3. Once the butter has cooled, cream it with the brown sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer until smooth.

4. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.

5. Mix in the vanilla and buttermilk, mixing until it is combined.

6. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

7. Cover the dough and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight. (The cookies bake better when chilled overnight.)

8. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or SILPAT.

9. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon and set aside.

10. Roll at least 2 Tbsp of the chilled dough into a ball, making a small indention with your thumb in the center the dough. (Try not to let the heat of your hands soften the dough too much.)
Place a 1/2 piece of the caramel into the well and then fold the sides of dough around the caramel. Use your hands to seal & shape the dough into a ball. (Again remembering not to let the heat of your hands soften the dough too much.)

11. Toss the dough ball in the cinnamon & sugar mixture and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 3-4 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!! These are so frickin' good!
