For the Cookie Dough
  • 2.5 cups All-Purpose Flour Substitute with a gluten-free flour blend if needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, cream the butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in the caramel chips and optional chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of each cookie dough mound before baking.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers are soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
