Sift the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt into the butter mixture. Beat on low speed, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, until a smooth dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Divide the dough into 20 balls, using about 2 tablespoons for each, and arrange on the prepared baking sheets. In the palm of your hand, gently press a ball into a 1/2-inch disk. Place a chocolate-covered caramel in the center of the disk, and enclose it with the dough. Return the cookie to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough and caramels. Press a few flakes of sea salt onto the top of each cookie. Transfer the baking sheets to the freezer while the oven preheats. Alternately, freeze the cookies on a small baking sheet or large plate and transfer to the large baking sheets for baking.
