Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup salted caramel sauce

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each ball. Drizzle salted caramel sauce over each cookie.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but soft in the center. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to wire racks.
