Description

Delightful cookies blending sweet and salty flavors, soft in the center with a crispy edge, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup caramel chips
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  7. Gently fold in the caramel chips and chocolate chips, if using.
  8. Use a cookie scoop to portion dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
  9. Lightly sprinkle flaky sea salt over each dough ball before baking.
  10. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers look soft. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

For longer storage, you can freeze cookies. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they can last for several months!
