Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Using your thumb, create a small well in the center of each dough ball and fill with caramel sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
