Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups milk chocolate chunks
- 1 cup golden caramel bits
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a hand or stand mixer for best results.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Gently fold in the milk chocolate chunks and golden caramel bits with a spatula.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underdone. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top of the cookies while they are still warm to enhance the flavor.
