Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Soft caramel candies, chopped into small pieces
- 0.5 teaspoon Flaky sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 5
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped caramel candies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie while they’re still warm.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
