Make an indentation in the ball of dough. Take a caramel and place it in the well of the cookie dough. Pinch the dough to cover the caramel. Gently roll the dough between your hands to form a ball that completely covers the caramel. Place back on the baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between the cookies. Repeat until the cookie dough is gone.
