Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with melty chocolate chips and gooey caramel bits—finished with a sprinkle of sea salt for the perfect sweet-salty balance.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup caramel bits
- ½ tsp sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips and caramel bits. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are soft. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt right after baking. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
