Salted caramels are my all time favorite candy, so it stands to reason that salted caramel flavored cookies would be right up my alley. I’m sure you can imagine how excited I was to make this salted caramel snickerdoodle cookies recipe for the first time.

Plus, with Thanksgiving coming up tomorrow, I thought it would be fun to bake a few batches of cookies for us to enjoy throughout this week.

What to Serve with Salted Caramel Snickerdoodle Cookies
If you’re making these for kids, I would say a classic glass of icy cold milk or even hot chocolate with a mug rimmed with caramel would be a solid choice. If, however, it’s an adults only treat time, I urge you to try our salted caramel Irish coffee!
They would make a might fine pairing that boozy coffee and those decadent cookies. Just sayin’! But then again, I would eat cookies for breakfast this time of year. Haha!
I’m also all about setting up a nice cookie bar as part of my Thanksgiving spread. Sure we will have pie, like this yummy bourbon apple pie for instance, but cookies are always a hit with the little ones especially. So, I make a few different kinds and set them up along with a slow cooker filled with hot chocolate!
In fact, you could add a couple pies to the cookie bar and make it a full on serve yourself Thanksgiving dessert bar. Just add a pot of hot coffee, creamer and sugar to the equation and people can serve themselves while you relax for a minute!
In my house, it’s the hubs who will be relaxing as I’m the baker and he’s the cook. Bwah! And in case you too love to bake, I’ve included some more of my favorite yummy cookie recipes below!
