Caramel Oatmeal Cookies

With the recent dip in temperatures once again, it was a good time to bake. When I go south of the border I'm always on the lookout for baking items that we don't have here yet. I spotted these caramel balls and thought they would be great to add to baking items.

These cookies were soft and chewy with a hint of cinnamon and of course, a soft caramel morsel in every bite.
