Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 1/4 cup water (for caramel)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (for caramel)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (for caramel)
  • Sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Divide dough, shape into discs, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out cookies and place on baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.
  7. For ganache: heat cream until just simmering, pour over chopped chocolate, let sit 1-2 min, stir until smooth. Cool until spreadable.
  8. For caramel: combine sugar and water, cook without stirring until deep amber. Remove from heat, carefully whisk in butter and cream. Stir smooth, cool.
  9. Assemble: spread ganache on one cookie, top with caramel, sandwich with another cookie. Let set before serving.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in fridge up to 5 days; bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Freeze assembled cookies for up to 2 months, separating layers with parchment.
  • For salted caramel, sprinkle sea salt on caramel before sandwiching.
  • Chill dough well to prevent spreading.
