Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pre-heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Cream together ½ cup of unsalted butter and ¾ cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in one large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until combined smoothly for 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, combining gently until no visible streaks of flour remain.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of Kraft caramel bits carefully, being cautious not to overmix.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough and place rounded balls on the baking sheets, spaced about 3 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 11-12 minutes until the edges set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
