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).
  2. In a medium-sized 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. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and then add it to your butter mixture.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in two or three additions, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  7. Fold in the salted caramel sauce until it's evenly distributed throughout your dough.
  8. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and caramel bits until they are evenly spread throughout the dough.
  9. Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, drop portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
  11. Once baked, let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
