Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup soft caramel candies, chopped into small pieces
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract, then beat in the egg and egg yolk until light and creamy.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips and chopped caramels.
  5. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked.
  8. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

If you’d like, I can help you adapt this with nuts, browned butter, or any other twist — just say so!
