Salted Caramel Oatmeal Cookies



Heat oven to 350º

Some notes before making cookies:
The batter might look a little wet, but don't be tempted to add more flour!
Have some sea salt ready to sprinkle on the cookies when they come out of the oven.
Line a few baking pans with parchment.   I fit 12 cookies on each sheet (they spread a bit while baking)

In a mixing bowl, cream together:
1 cup softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Stir in:
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
2-1/4 C. flour
3 C. (quick) rolled oats
1 package (10-12 oz.)  Kraft caramel bits (in baking aisle by chocolate chips)

Drop by Tblsp. onto parchment sheets, leaving space between each (to allow for spreading).  Bake for 12-14 minutes - until the edges begin to turn golden and center of cookies no longer look 'wet'. Remove from oven and immediately (carefully) sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt.  Cool completely before removing from parchment.
