Sweet and Salty Teddy Bear Snickerdoodles are soft, chewy cinnamon-sugar cookies with a playful twist—mini peanut butter teddy bear cookies tucked inside and a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a whimsical and delicious treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar + 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (for rolling)
  • 1 cup mini peanut butter teddy bear cookies
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing just until combined.
  5. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon. Scoop dough into balls, roll in cinnamon sugar, and place on baking sheet.
  6. Gently press one mini teddy bear cookie into the top of each dough ball.
  7. Sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on top.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are soft. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Chill dough for 20–30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  • Use store-bought mini peanut butter bears or swap in mini chocolate cookies for variation.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
