Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in half of the caramel sauce to create a rich flavor.
Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before drizzling with the remaining caramel sauce.
Sprinkle with sea salt before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
