Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups quick style oats, uncooked
  • 1 package Kraft Caramel Bits

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter and mix with sugars until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, and continue to beat until the mixture turns light brown and fluffy. Combine dry ingredients. Add flour mixture to egg mixture slowly and mix well. Add caramels and mix to combine. Drop rounded tablespoon size balls onto ungreased parchment lined baking sheets. The caramels will spread during baking, so leave room for other cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees F. When the cookies come out of the oven, some caramel will have melted out of the cookies. Using a metal knife or spatula, gently push the melted caramel back toward the cookie. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to racks to cool. allow to cool completely before stacking cookies. Cookies should be soft and chewy in the middle when cool.
