These chewy salted caramel chocolate chip cookies feature gooey ribbons of caramel folded into the dough, creating a perfect balance of salty-sweet flavor and rich chocolate in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (160g) soft caramel candies, chopped
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips, then carefully fold in the chopped caramel candies, keeping the caramel pieces somewhat intact.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Lightly sprinkle each mound with flaky sea salt.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if caramel ribbons melt too much. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies chewy. Use flaky sea salt for the best salty-sweet contrast. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend. Vegan options include plant-based butter, flax eggs, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
