Ingredients
  

Dry ingredients
  • 2.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
Wet ingredients
  • 1 lb unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp caramel extract (optional)
Toffee and caramel
  • 1.25 cup toffee bits (Heath)
  • 0.75 cup soft caramel pieces or caramel chips
  • flaky sea salt for topping

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep and preheat
  1. Preheat oven to 375F and line baking sheets with parchment.
  2. Whisk all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl until evenly combined.
Make the dough
  1. Beat softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in eggs, vanilla extract, and caramel extract if using.
  2. Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients just until no dry streaks remain.
  3. Fold in toffee bits and soft caramel pieces or caramel chips.
Bake and finish
  1. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon rounds and bake 10-12 minutes until golden at the edges.
  2. Immediately press extra toffee bits and caramels on top while the cookies are hot.
  3. Sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt, then cool on the pan for 5 minutes.

Notes

For the best caramel pools, press the extra toffee/caramel on immediately right after the tray comes out. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days; freeze baked cookies up to 2 months. For a lighter option, you can substitute half the butter with plain Greek yogurt (texture will be slightly softer).
