Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup caramel bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  6. Add the cream cheese mixture into the butter-sugar blend and mix until fully combined.
  7. Gradually mix in your dry ingredients—do this in two or three additions while mixing on low speed until just combined.
  8. Gently fold in your salted caramel sauce until it’s evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  9. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and caramel bits.
  10. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  11. Bake in your preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  12. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
