Notes
- Mix your cookie dough until just combined for the best texture. Don't overmix!
- Fold the caramel chips into the cookie dough to prevent forming more gluten.
- For extra soft cookies, try using cake flour. It produces less gluten than all-purpose flour.
- Loosely spoon your flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife to prevent packing the flour and using too much.
