Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in one large egg and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gently add this mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring carefully.
  5. Scoop out portions of cookie dough, flatten slightly, place a soft caramel candy in the center, encase caramel, and roll into balls.
  6. Mix brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and white sugar in a shallow dish. Roll each cookie ball in this mixture to coat.
  7. Place the coated balls on your baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
