Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Provides richness and moisture; use straight from the fridge for optimal consistency.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Adds sweetness and moisture for a chewy bite; light brown sugar can be used as a substitute.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Enhances sweetness and texture; white sugar can replace granulated sugar if desired.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds everything together while adding moisture; flax eggs work well for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Deepens the flavor; opt for pure vanilla extract for a more robust taste.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Offers structure to the cookies; gluten-free all-purpose flour can be a great substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda A leavening agent that gives cookies lift; always ensure it’s fresh.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder Works with baking soda for extra leavening; can be omitted with self-rising flour.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor overall; essential for that perfect taste.
For the Sweetness
  • 1 cup HERSHEY’S Kitchens Sea Salt Caramel Chips Brings gooey caramel flavor with a delightful hint of salt; homemade caramel can elevate your cookies.
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips Imparts sweetness and creaminess; swap for dairy-free chocolate for a vegan treat.
  • 1/2 cup Soft Caramel Bits Increases the caramel flavor and chewiness; recommended for extra gooey goodness, but not required.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, and mix until smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until just incorporated.
  5. Fold in the HERSHEY’S Kitchens Sea Salt Caramel Chips and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are soft.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
