Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) salted caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth dough.
  2. Cream together the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and salted caramel sauce evenly throughout the dough.
