A recipe for thick, chewy cookies featuring a rich, gooey salted caramel flavor throughout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup soft caramel candies, unwrapped (or 3/4 cup salted caramel chips)
  • 1/4 cup flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the soft caramel candies or chips.
  6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers should still look slightly underbaked for a soft texture.
  8. Immediately sprinkle the tops of the hot cookies with flaky sea salt.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra soft cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before scooping and baking.
  • If using caramel candies, slightly warm them for 10 seconds in the microwave to make them easier to fold into the dough without tearing it.
  • Do not bake longer than 12 minutes if you want a soft center.
