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. Grab a large mixing bowl and beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy—about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Then add this creamy goodness into your butter mixture and mix until everything is fully combined.
  6. Gradually add your dry ingredients into the wet mixture in two or three additions. Mix on low speed after each addition until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the salted caramel sauce using a spatula until it’s evenly distributed throughout your dough.
  8. Next, fold in mini chocolate chips and caramel bits until they’re evenly spread throughout the dough.
  9. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Slide them into your preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  11. Once out of the oven, let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
