- Scrape the sides then add the vanilla, flour, and salt. Mix on low speed until the dough you do not see any flour streaks. Do not overmix.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F. Portion into 2 tablespoon balls, then press the center of the cookie with a cookie scoop or spoon. Gently pinch the dough with your fingers to seal any cracks.

- Stir in the vanilla.
- Remove from heat and spoon into cookies, without overfilling.
- Sprinkle with sea salt while still hot, before caramel sets.
- Let caramel set and firm.
