1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

18 soft caramel candies, unwrapped

flaky sea salt, for topping

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cream the butter and sugars, then beat in eggs and vanilla.

Step 3: Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then mix into the wet ingredients.

Step 4: Flatten a portion of dough, place a caramel in the center, and seal with more dough.

Tip: Make sure the caramel is fully sealed so it doesn't leak out during baking.

Step 5: Place the stuffed dough balls on the baking sheets, spaced apart.

Step 6: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden with soft centers.

Step 7: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately after baking.

Step 8: Cool for 5 minutes on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Make sure to fully seal the caramel inside the dough to prevent it from leaking out during baking.
