Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. 3. Stir in vanilla extract. 4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. 5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. 6. Gently fold in chopped strawberries and caramel bits. 7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. 8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft. 9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
