Can you use cloning to create a unique individual, instead of a copy of someone?

yes, you can create a unique individual that probably won't live to see puberty and has the same genome as the "original"

"Yes," says every identical twin ever, including the Olsen Twins who like to deny that they're identical twins and in adulthood are trying not to look alike.

Technically, no. A clone has totally identical DNA. That's what makes it a clone.
But we can 'genetically engineer' genes together from various individuals, even different organisms. And some politicians and journalists also call this 'cloning', though scientifically that's the wrong word. Using CRISPR technology, you could create totally individual, unique plants or animals. Or people.
