Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 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 (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
- Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and salted caramel sauce, being careful not to overmix.
- Scoop and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
