Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup caramel bits or chopped caramel candies

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract and add the eggs one at a time, ensuring everything is well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and caramel bits until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie.
  2. Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
  3. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for up to two weeks. The cookie dough can be frozen for later use. To reheat, microwave for a few seconds or place them in a warm oven.
