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, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until fully integrated (about 1 minute).
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Scoop a tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly, place a caramel in the center, and fold the dough around it.
  7. Roll each ball in a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon before placing them on the baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown; centers should remain soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
