Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup caramel bits or soft caramels, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: Beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- Add the Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and caramel bits.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden brown, and centers are soft.
- Finish with Sea Salt: Sprinkle each cookie with sea salt flakes immediately after baking. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added crunch, consider adding chopped nuts such as pecans, walnuts, or macadamia nuts.
- To make these cookies richer, substitute white chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips.
- You can drizzle salted caramel sauce over cooled cookies for an extra indulgent touch.
