Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well, followed by the vanilla extract. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the salted caramel sauce gently.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart, and sprinkle with sea salt.

Baking

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
