Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, and caramel bits until evenly distributed.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
