Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter softened at room temperature
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions
- With an electric mixer in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Continue to mix together until cookie dough is formed, scraping down the sides of a bowl with a spatula occasionally. Do not over-mix.
- Add the chocolate chips and caramel bits and mix until incorporated.
- With a mini cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, equivalent to 2 tablespoons, scoop cookie dough into balls and place on the prepared cookie sheets. *Optional, add more chocolate chips and caramel bits to the tops of the cookies to look extra pretty.
- Place dough balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to overnight.
- When ready to bake cookies, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
