Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup soft caramel candies
• 2 tablespoons milk or cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the soft caramel candies with the milk or cream, stirring constantly until smooth. Let the caramel cool slightly, but not so much that it hardens.

Step 8

Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Step 9

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop 1.5-inch balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Create a small well in the center of each ball of dough with the back of a spoon. Add a small dollop of the melted caramel into the well of each cookie.

Step 11

Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and a light golden brown. The centers may appear slightly underbaked, but they will set as they cool.

Step 12

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
