3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips
12 soft caramel candies
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
4. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips to create a delicious cookie dough.
