Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  6. Stir in the chopped caramel candies.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  8. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with sea salt.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
