Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of room-temperature unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 2 large eggs, mixing well.
  3. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a cohesive dough forms. Fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips.
  4. Allow the dough to rest for about 10 minutes. Form balls of dough and make a thumbprint in each.
  5. Fill each thumbprint with a piece of soft caramel and cover with more dough. Place on lined baking sheets and bake at 350°F for 13-15 minutes.
  6. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
