Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the large eggs, apple cider, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
  6. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers may still be soft.
  8. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter, then stir in brown sugar and heavy cream, bringing to a gentle boil.
  9. Cook the caramel for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently until it thickens, then remove from heat and mix in vanilla extract.
  10. Once cookies are cooled, spread caramel filling on one cookie and sandwich with another. Repeat until finished.
