Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
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.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the milk chocolate chunks and golden caramel bits with a spatula.
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.
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.
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.
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top of the cookies while they are still warm to enhance the flavor.
