Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup soft caramel candies, chopped
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped caramel candies.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them.
  8. Lightly sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your sweet and salty treat! Let me know if you’d like a version with a twist (like browned butter or stuffed with caramel centers).
