Ingredients

For the Cookies

2 cups all-purpose flour sifted for a lighter texture
1 teaspoon baking soda helps the cookies rise
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon adds a warm spice essence
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg enhances the cozy flavor
¼ teaspoon salt balances the sweetness
½ cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup brown sugar lends deep sweetness
2 large eggs helps bind the ingredients
1 cup apple cider infuses fruity flavor
1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds warmth

For the Caramel Filling

1 cup brown sugar provides deep sweetness
¼ cup heavy cream brings richness

Instructions

Steps for Baking

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the apple cider and vanilla extract.
Gradually combine the dry and wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Drop rounded balls of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly golden on the edges.
While cookies cool, prepare the caramel filling by melting butter and stirring in brown sugar and cream.
Once slightly thickened, stir in vanilla extract, then remove from heat.
Assemble the cookies by spreading caramel on one cookie and sandwiching with another.

Notes

Sift flour for a lighter texture. Avoid overmixing the batter for tenderness. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for best results.
