Deliciously sweet and crunchy cookies featuring salted caramel, chocolate chips, and optional toffee bits or nuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup salted caramel candies, chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup toffee bits or chopped nuts (optional)
- Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter alongside the brown and granulated sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped salted caramel, chocolate chips, and optional toffee bits or nuts.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Lightly sprinkle coarse sea salt on top of each cookie before placing them in the oven.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for best results.
- Feel free to customize with your choice of mix-ins.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
