Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup salted caramel sauce (divided)
  • Sea salt flakes (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda. Gradually incorporate into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in half of the salted caramel sauce, reserving the rest for drizzling later.
  6. Scoop dollops of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Drizzle remaining caramel over each cookie and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
