INGREDENT
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel bits or soft caramel candies (cut into small pieces)
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and caramel bits.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Lightly press each dough ball and sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
If you’d like, I can also give you a gooey center variation where the caramel melts into a lava-like core. That would make them extra decadent.
