Description

Soft, chewy cookies with gooey chocolate chunks and a surprising burst of salted caramel that create a deliciously sweet and salty experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks or chips
  • 1 cup salted caramel (store-bought or homemade)
  • Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chunks and salted caramel.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
  9. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature butter and avoid overmixing the dough. Store cookies in an airtight container.
