• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling on cookies)
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• sea salt flakes (optional to sprinkle on the top)

2. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer. Stir in caramel.
3. Fold in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. If sprinkling sea salt flakes on the top of cookies, reduce salt to 1/2 teaspoon.
