Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
1 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Spread half the dough evenly in the prepared pan. Drizzle salted caramel sauce over the dough, then drop spoonfuls of remaining dough on top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown but soft in the center. Let cool completely before slicing into squares.
