Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup caramel candies, unwrapped
• Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
3. In a mixing bowl, cream together the cooled brown butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Chop the caramel candies into small pieces. Fold them into the cookie dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down each ball of dough with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly.
8. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will appear slightly undercooked but will set as they cool.
10. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve and enjoy the irresistible combination of salted caramel and brown butter in these delicious cookies!
