Brown Butter Preparation: Start by browning butter on the stovetop until it turns a deep golden brown, giving the snickerdoodles a rich and nutty flavor.
Caramel Incorporation: Mix the brown butter with homemade or store-bought salted caramel sauce for an extra layer of sweetness and complexity.
Dough Creation: Combine the brown butter caramel mixture with typical snickerdoodle ingredients like flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, sugar, and eggs to form a soft and flavorful dough.
Chilling Time: Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least an hour to firm it up and enhance the flavors.
Rolling and Coating: Roll the chilled dough into balls, then roll them in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar to coat, creating the classic snickerdoodle texture and flavor.
Baking and Finishing: Bake the cookies until they're golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges, then sprinkle with a touch of flaky sea salt for a delightful contrast of flavors.
