Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 170 grams of all-purpose flour, 30 grams of Dutch-processed cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
- In a stand mixer, beat 60 grams of unsalted butter with 100 grams of light brown sugar and 70 grams of granulated sugar for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and light. Then, add 1 large egg, 1 egg yolk, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 60 grams of oil; mix well until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Gradually add the prepared dry ingredients to the wet mixture in the stand mixer, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 5 hours or preferably overnight.
- About 20 minutes before baking, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). While the oven heats, line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Once chilled, take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll approximately 10 grams of dough into balls. Roll each ball in 100 grams of turbinado sugar.
- Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, making sure to leave enough space between them. Place the baking sheets in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until they're soft but set.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 200 grams of granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts into a rich amber color. Carefully add 80 grams of butter and mix until melted. Slowly whisk in 80 grams of heavy cream and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until smooth.
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of the cooled caramel onto the bottom half of one cookie and gently press another cookie half on top.

Notes
Always measure your ingredients using a kitchen scale for consistent results. Chilling the dough for at least 5 hours prevents spreading and ensures a chewy center.
