Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup soft caramel candies, chopped
1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
6. Fold in the chopped caramel pieces and the milk until evenly combined.
7. Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized portions and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Avoid overbaking these cookies. Pull them from the oven when the centers still look slightly soft so they stay chewy once cooled.
