Ingredients
For the Cookies:
1. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2. 1 cup granulated sugar
3. 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
4. 2 large eggs
5. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6. 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
7. 1 teaspoon baking soda
8. 1/2 teaspoon salt
9. 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Caramel:
1. 20 soft caramel candies, unwrapped
2. 2 tablespoons heavy cream
3. Sea salt, for sprinkling
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.
4. Stir in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon or spatula.
5. Roll the dough into balls, about 1.5 tablespoons each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
6. In a small microwavable bowl, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
7. Using your thumb, press a small well into each cookie dough ball and fill with a small spoonful of melted caramel.
8. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the caramel-topped cookies.
9. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
