Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup Light brown sugar packed
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Caramel bits
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire rack

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  6. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and caramel bits using a spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  8. Lightly sprinkle each cookie dough ball with flaky sea salt before baking to enhance the flavor.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still appear soft and slightly undercooked.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overbake to keep cookies soft and chewy. For best results, use good quality chocolate chips and caramel bits. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking enhances the flavor.
