Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter softened
  • 0.75 cups brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cups white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 1 cups caramel bits
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt flakes for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the caramel bits carefully.
  • Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top of each cookie.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
