Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs

- 1/2 cup homemade or store-bought salted caramel sauce
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, along with the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and caramel sauce, making sure to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave enough space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Don’t worry if they look a little soft; they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
