1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
18 soft caramel candies
Instructions
1. Cream together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
5. Chill the dough for 30 minutes to firm it up.
6. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a caramel candy in the center. Wrap the dough around the caramel and seal it completely.
7. Place the cookie balls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are soft.
9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
10. Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
These cookies are best eaten warm when the caramel is still gooey.
If the caramel candies are too firm, microwave them for a few seconds before inserting.
You can use flavored caramels like sea salt or maple for added variety.
