Description
Golden, gooey, and irresistibly indulgent—these salted caramel cookies are the ultimate sweet-and-salty treat. Buttery cookie dough wraps around pools of rich caramel, finished with a kiss of sea salt for the perfect flavor pop. Bake a batch and watch them disappear faster than you can say “just one more.”
Ingredients
1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200g) brown sugar
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup caramel candies or soft caramels, unwrapped
Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla, mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients.
Fold in caramels (cut into smaller pieces if needed).
Scoop dough balls onto baking sheet, leaving space between.
Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are soft.
While warm, sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Cool on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
