Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 370F degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium-size bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric or stand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing between each egg.
  • Add flour mixture and mix until just combined. DO NOT OVERMIX, you should still see some flour.
  • Using a spatula, stir in chocolate chips until combined.
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough into balls about 1 Tablespoon each and place onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
  • Immediately after taking cookies out of the oven, using the handle of a wooden spoon, make an indentation into the center of each cookie. Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine caramel bits and heavy whipping cream. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring until caramel is completely melted. Spoon 1 teaspoon of caramel into each indentation.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, microwave chocolate baking bars for 30 seconds, stirring after each 30-second intervals until chocolate is completed melted. Drizzle chocolate over cookies and sprinkle with sea salt.

Notes

  • DON’T OVERMIX: With almost all my cookie recipes, I always make sure to remind you to not OVERMIX  the cookie dough. Meaning, when you mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, only mix them together until just combined…you should still see some flour in your mixing bowl.
  • SCOOPING THE COOKIE DOUGH:  I used a 1 Tablespoon cookie scoop, each cookie dough ball has “1 scoop” of cookie dough. As SOON as the cookies are done baking, use the handle of a wooden spoon or the back of the cookie scoop to make an indentation in the center of each cookie. Let them cool for 5 minutes before adding the caramel.
