Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and salted caramel sauce until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
- Finish with Sea Salt: While the cookies are still warm, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie for an extra touch of flavor.
