In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
Prepare the caramel centers: Unwrap the caramel candies and cut them in half. You’ll need one half for each cookie to create that gooey, caramel-filled center.
Shape the cookie dough: Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls using your hands. Flatten each dough ball slightly, then place one half of a caramel candy in the center. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the caramel, sealing it inside. Roll the dough ball back into a round shape and roll it in granulated sugar to coat the outside.
Bake the cookies: Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies have spread slightly. The caramel inside should be melted and gooey, creating a delicious, soft center. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy: Once the cookies are cool enough to handle, enjoy the warm, gooey caramel centers and soft, spiced cookies. These Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter Cookies with Gooey Caramel Centers are perfect for any occasion!
