- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, then carefully add the salted caramel sauce, ensuring it remains swirled and not completely mixed in.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Lightly sprinkle sea salt flakes over each cookie dough ball for an added touch of flavor.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
