Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
2 large eggs
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Sea salt flakes (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in half of the caramel sauce gently to maintain gooey pockets.
Drop generous mounds of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
Drizzle remaining caramel sauce on warm cookies and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
