Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and well-combined.
  3. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Fold in the rolled oats and about 3/4 cup of the salted caramel sauce, ensuring an even distribution.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Drizzle the remaining salted caramel sauce over the cookies and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
  9. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 2 months. For extra flair, mix in chocolate chips or nuts. Reheat for 10-15 seconds in the microwave for a fresh-from-the-oven experience.
