Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup caramel bits or caramel cubes (unwrapped)
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: In a separate 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 and Caramel: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and caramel bits.
- Shape the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
- Add the Finishing Touch: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Serve with a glass of milk or enjoy on their own as a delightful treat
Notes
- If you can’t find caramel bits, you can chop up soft caramel candies into small pieces and use those instead.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle some melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Adjust the amount of sea salt to your taste—more for a stronger salty contrast!
