Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature) Use salted butter but reduce added salt to 1/4 tsp.
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed (light or dark) Dark brown sugar gives deeper flavors, light is milder.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Measure flour by spooning it into the cup.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Reduce if using salted butter.
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs Helps create a tender, chewy texture.
  • 1 cup caramel bits Can substitute chocolate-covered caramel or chopped soft caramels dusted in flour.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and smooth — about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the caramel bits with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers look set but still soft.
  2. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
