Step 1

With an electric mixer cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla and mix until combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients - flour, baking powder and salt, and mix to combine.

Step 3

Slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture, mixing well between each addition. NOTE: The dough should not be sticky and should not be crumbly. If it is sticky, mix in flour one tablespoon at a time until it becomes not sticky. If the mixture is crumbly, mix in water one teaspoon at a time until the dough holds together.

Step 4

Mix cinnamon and sugar together and place in a shallow bowl.

Step 5

Measure dough with a 1/4 cup measure. Divide the dough in half, placing a caramel in between the layers and then press the edges back together so that there are no cracks. The final shape should be a thick disc. Roll each disc to coat well in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place on a cookie sheet lined with a silpat liner or parchment paper.

Step 6

Bake at 350˚F for 12-15 minutes or until the center is just set. Let cool 2 minutes then cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
