Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the flour, salt, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to flatten each ball slightly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
In a small saucepan, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramels are melted and the mixture is smooth.
Spread a layer of caramel onto the cooled cookies and let set.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Dip each caramel-coated cookie into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the dipped cookies back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Optional: Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the chocolate-coated cookies for a sweet and salty flavor contrast.
Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
