1/2 cup salted butter softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar 100 grams
1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar 110 grams
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose unbleached flour 192 grams
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon buttermilk powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips, I used half a cup of both

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Stir in egg and vanilla. Scrape sides of bowl and mix again. Incorporate all dry ingredients until uniform dough has formed. Scrape sides and mix again briefly.
Stir in chocolate chips by hand. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets {1 1/2 tablespoon scoop} and bake 8-9 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and the centers don't look quite baked through. Cool 5 minutes on baking tray before transferring to cooling rack.
To make the ganache, melt caramel and heavy cream together in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. {Took about 1 1/2 minutes for me.} Drizzle over warm cookies and top with sea salt.

*In order for your cookies to turn out exactly like mine, be sure to measure the sugars and flour by weight! It makes a world of difference 🙂
