Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. Beat together unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and light. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until incorporated.
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Scoop and roll the dough into small balls, then coat with turbinado sugar. Place on prepared baking sheets.
  7. Freeze the dough balls for about 15 minutes to maintain their shape during baking.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 to 8 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. In a saucepan, melt granulated sugar over medium heat until golden amber. Add unsalted butter and heavy cream, stirring until smooth.
  10. Once cookies are cool, spread salted caramel on one and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
