Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup toffee bits
1 cup caramel bits
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
Fold in the toffee bits and caramel bits evenly throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly sprinkle each cookie with flaky sea salt before baking.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown; centers should be set but still soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
