Delight in the warm, gooey goodness of these Brown Sugar Cinnamon Caramel Cookies, featuring a perfect balance of sweetness and spice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup caramel bits
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, blending thoroughly before adding the second, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix the dry ingredients: whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon in another bowl.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients gradually, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the caramel bits and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the cookies by dropping spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and centers look set but slightly soft.
- Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For chewier cookies, avoid overbaking. You can freeze the dough for up to three months for later baking.
