Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (200g) caramel bits
- Sea salt flakes for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Mix in eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using a spatula, gently fold in caramel bits until evenly distributed.
- Scoop out dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as they cool.
- As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each one.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
Notes
[‘Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels too soft.’, ‘Do not overmix the dough to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother dough.’, ‘Remove cookies as soon as the edges start to brown for a soft and chewy texture.’, ‘If caramel bits stick to the baking sheet, use a spatula to gently loosen the cookies while they’re still warm.’]
