Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips and caramel bits.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra chewy cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.

To store, place cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.

If you prefer, you can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added texture.

Substitute caramel bits with caramel squares or toffee bits if desired.
