Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup caramel bits
Flaky sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in caramel bits until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft. Let cool on baking sheets before transferring to wire racks.
