Description

Indulge in the rich, gooey delight of salted caramel cookies, combining sweet caramel, a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, and a soft, chewy texture.


Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold in the caramel chips and chocolate chips (if using).
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Lightly sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt before baking.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an alternative, substitute caramel chips with chopped caramel candies. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
