Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups bread flour
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 cup pecan pieces
• 12 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped, or more as needed

Directions

Whisk flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Mix brown sugar, butter, and white sugar together in a separate bowl; add egg, egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract; stir until well mixed.

Slowly stir flour mixture into butter-sugar mixture until dough is thoroughly combined; fold in white chocolate chips and pecans. Refrigerate dough until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons onto a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes; rotate baking sheet and continue baking until cookies are golden brown, about 8 minutes more. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Place caramels in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drizzle melted caramel over cooled cookies.
