Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
Press half the dough into the prepared baking dish, drizzle with caramel sauce, then drop spoonfuls of remaining dough over the top.
