Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup thick caramel dip/sauce I used Mrs Richardson’s brand
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed pretzels
- 1 cup toffee bits
- flakey sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Using either a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the egg, caramel and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Add in the flour, salt and baking soda. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Add the white chocolate chips, crushed pretzels and toffee bits. Mix until combined.
- Portion out your dough into 3 tbsp portions (using a #24 scoop) and arrange on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle some flakey sea salt on top.
- Bake at 375° F for 9-11 minutes. The cookies will spread and the edges and top of the cookies will turn golden brown when they are ready to come out of the oven. Add more sea salt to the top, if desired.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
