Ingredients

½ cup butter (softened)
⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus ⅓ cup for topping)
7 caramels (unwrapped)
Flaky sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Beat butter, brown, and white sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy.
Beat in egg and vanilla, and continue beating for about a minute until the mixture becomes light in color.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Then add to butter and egg mixture and beat until combined.
Stir in ½ cup of semi-sweet chocolate.
Take out ⅓ of the cookie dough and set aside.
Divide the remaining ⅔ of the dough into seven balls and place on the cookie sheet.
Flatten each ball, and place a flattened caramel square into each center (you can do this by rolling quickly with a rolling pin or pressing between your hands).
Separate the reserved cookie dough into seven balls, flatten each ball, and place it on top of the caramels, sealing the edges.
Press the chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies. Then sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Bake in the center of the oven for 14-16 minutes until the edges are set.
Remove and let cool on a cookie sheet until safe to handle, then move to a wire rack.

Notes

Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
