These cookies combine soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies with gooey caramel bits and a sprinkle of sea salt for a perfect balance of sweet and salty. Easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1 cup (160g) soft caramel bits or chopped soft caramel candies
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes, plus extra for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer or hand whisk, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and caramel bits gently.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Lightly sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt flakes.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers look slightly soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 15 minutes if cookies spread too much. Sprinkle sea salt just before baking to keep crystals crunchy. Use soft caramel bits for best texture. Avoid overmixing dough to prevent tough cookies.
