Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup brown sugar packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
18 soft caramel candies unwrapped
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
3. Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time and stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
6. Combine the cinnamon sugar coating ingredients in a small bowl.
7. Flatten portions of dough and place one caramel candy in the center.
8. Wrap the dough completely around the caramel and roll into a ball.
9. Coat each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
10. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet with space between each cookie.
11. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
12. Cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Seal the caramel completely inside the dough to prevent leaking while baking.
Do not overbake the cookies because the centers continue to set as they cool.
Chilling the dough for 15 minutes before baking helps create thicker bakery-style cookies.
