- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and caramel bits.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet.

- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
For best texture, make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. If time allows, chilling the dough for 30 minutes can enhance flavors and prevent excessive spreading.
