  • 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until fully combined.
  4. Spread half of the cookie dough into the prepared baking dish. Pour the salted caramel sauce over the dough, then spread the remaining dough on top.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before cutting into bars.
