Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
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.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped caramel candies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie while they’re still warm.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
