Step-by-Step Instructions for Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and caramel bits gently with a spatula.
  6. Drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
