Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup sea salt caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda until combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about three minutes). Add the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until fully incorporated.
