Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.

Beat in vanilla and eggs, one at a time.

In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.

Fold in chocolate chips and caramel bits.

Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto baking sheet, 2 inches apart.

Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.

Cool on sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Use white chocolate chips or candy-coated chocolates for variation.

Add sea salt on top before baking for sweet-salty contrast.

For extra chewiness, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking.

Store with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft.
