  3. Incorporate the large egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mix, mixing until well combined.
  4. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough, roll into balls, and press an indentation in the center.
  7. Place a caramel candy in the indentation, fold the dough around it to seal.

  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden edges.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
