Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa or higher)

1 cup caramel bits (or soft caramel candies, cut into small pieces)

Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, allowing each to fully incorporate before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

          Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Chocolate and Caramel: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and caramel bits until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

                Sprinkle with Sea Salt: Before baking, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each cookie dough ball.

                  Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.

                    Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                      Enjoy: Indulge in your delicious Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
