In a large bowl combine dry ingredients - flour, cocoa, baking soda and sea salt. In separate bowl, preferably a Kitchenaid type mixer, combine butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Slowly add the flour mixture.
Fold in caramel bits with a spatula. Roll into dough balls and gently flatten before placing on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes. If you want an extra dose of sea salt sprinkle the top of your warm cookies with Maldron salt.
