Ingredients
| 2 | all-purpose gold medal flour |
|---|---|
| 2 | teaspoons cornstarch |
| 1 | teaspoon baking soda |
| ½ | teaspoon sea salt |
| ¾ | cup unsalted butter, at room temperature |
| 1 | cup brown sugar |
| ¼ | cup granulated sugar |
| 1 | large egg |
| 2 | teaspoons vanilla extract |
| 1 | cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
| ½ | cup caramel bits |
| sea salt, for sprinkling on cookies |
Instructions
| 1. | Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper, and set it aside for later. |

| 2. | In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose gold medal flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk together thoroughly and set the dry mixture aside. |
| 3. | Using a stand mixer, cream the unsalted butter and sugars until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 3 minutes. Add the large egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the mix. |
| 4. | Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and caramel bits. Shape the cookie dough into tablespoon-sized balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Before baking, sprinkle a touch of sea salt on the top of each cookie. |
| 5. | Bake the cookies for approximately 10 minutes, or until they turn a light golden brown around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for two minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. |
| 6. | Note: When looking for caramel bits, you can find Kraft Caramel Bits at Target. If unavailable, you can substitute with caramel squares by chopping them into smaller pieces for this recipe. |
