Brown butter, salted caramel, and heath bits make these Salted Caramel Snickerdoodles absolutely irresistible, you will love these!

Being in the restaurant business, Monday isn't a dreadful day and Friday isn't a joyous day, something goes on EVERY day so sometimes I don't even know what day I am on. I am not complaining but sometimes I giggle to myself when I have no idea what day it is, then I feel lost and confused so I yell out to someone "what day is it?" and I get an answer and a laugh.
Another thing that is constant for me is cookies, I never ever, I mean never ever ever get sick of them. How could you? And with such variety, how could you? Naturally I needed a new type of cookie so I decided to play with two cookie recipes I have previously posted, Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies and Brown Butter Snickerdoodles.
Check out this post on my Cookie Baking Tips
These cookies were SOOO chewy and sooo tasty! I couldn't stop eating them, literally, I took them to work to share with my co-workers then got scared I wouldn't have enough so I stole some back. Pathetic? Yes, that's me...
Make these, enjoy these, and hide them from your co-workers!

That's hysterical that you stole the cookies back...I've been known to hide certain goodies in the house from my family. Hehe.
Chewy cookies are my favorite and these definitely look chewy. Love a good snickerdoodle recipe. 🙂
