Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup caramel bits
  • coarse salt for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and caramel bits until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop dough into 1½-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with coarse sea salt while they are still hot.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra gooey caramel, press a few extra caramel bits on top before baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • The caramel bits are in the baking section near the chocolate chips.
  • You can use milk chocolate chips here if you'd like.
