Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, then add apple cider and vanilla, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until no dry flour remains.
  6. Scoop rounded balls of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
  8. For the filling, combine unsalted butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream in a saucepan. Stir until mixture thickens, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  9. Spread caramel filling on the flat side of half of the cookies and top with the other half.
