01 -

The surprise gooey caramel center makes every bite feel like discovering hidden treasure
Warming spices turn an ordinary cookie into something that actually fights off winter chill
They stay soft for days, which is great because youll want to hide them for yourself

02 -

Sealing the dough completely around the caramel is crucial or it will leak out during baking and make a sticky mess
These cookies continue baking on the hot sheet, so pulling them out when centers look slightly underdone is perfect

03 -

Chill the wrapped dough balls for 15 minutes before baking if you want thicker cookies that spread less
Rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning
