Let the butter soften at room temperature until pliable. This will help create a soft and homogeneous cookie dough.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a hand whisk or an electric mixer for ease.
Add the vanilla extract, salt, and egg, then mix thoroughly until a uniform mixture forms.
Gradually sift in the flour and mix with a spatula or by hand until a pliable, non-sticky dough forms.
Gently fold the caramel pieces into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Shape the dough into a large ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and form small balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, pressing them down slightly to create flatter cookies.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown but the centers remain soft.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, sprinkle with a little extra salt for an intensified flavor.
