Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda until well combined.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter on medium-low speed until it is smooth. Add in the salt and mix for another 15-30 seconds. Add in the sugar and mix until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add the dry ingredients to the bowl in 2 additions, mixing on low speed for 15 to 30 seconds after each, until just combined.
• Mound the dough onto a work surface or piece of parchment paper. Form the dough into a 6-inch square block. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until firm.
• Heat oven to 325. Line two baking pans with parchment paper.
• Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper into a ?-inch thick sheet. Using a 3-inch round or fluted cookie cutter, cut rounds from the dough. If necessary, push the scraps back together and reroll, cutting more rounds until you have 16. Arrange the cookie rounds on the baking pans, leaving about ¾-inch between them.
• Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, turning the pans halfway through baking, until the cookies are fragrant with small cracks on the surface. Allow to cool on the pans for 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle 1 tbsp sugar over the bottom of the pan. Swirl until the sugar is completely melted and any clumps have dissolved. Sprinkle more sugar over the top of the melted sugar and repeat swirling the pan until all of the sugar is again melted and clump-free.
• Continue doing this until all of your sugar is added to the pan and has melted, turning a dark amber color. Add the butter and whisk until completely melted and combined.
• Remove the pan from the heat and slowly whisk the cream into the caramel, continuing to stir until it is smooth. Stir in the vanilla and sea salt.
• Pour the caramel into a glass container to cool. Store it in the fridge in an air-tight container.
• Combine the butter and powdered sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beating on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Stream in the salted caramel and mix until combined. Add extra salt to taste.
• Turn half of the cooled cookies over. Pipe frosting onto these cookies. Top each with a second cookie and press gently to sandwich together.

HOMEMADE SALTED CARAMEL RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat granulated sugar in a medium heavy-duty saucepan (avoid using non-stick) over medium heat, stirring constantly with a high heat resistant rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Sugar will form clumps and eventually melt into a thick brown, amber-colored liquid as you continue to stir. Be careful not to burn it.
• Once sugar is completely melted, immediately stir in the butter until melted and combined. Be careful in this step because the caramel will bubble rapidly when the butter is added. If you notice the butter separating or if the sugar clumps up, remove from heat and vigorously whisk to combine it again. (If you're nervous for splatter, wear kitchen gloves. Keep whisking until it comes back together, even if it takes 3-4 minutes. It will eventually- just keep whisking. Return to heat when it's combined again.)
• After the butter has melted and combined with the caramelized sugar, stir constantly as you very slowly pour in the heavy cream. Since the heavy cream is colder than the hot caramel, the mixture will rapidly bubble when added. After all the heavy cream has been added, stop stirring and allow to boil for 1 minute. It will rise in the pan as it boils.
• Remove from heat and stir in the salt. Allow to slightly cool down before using. Caramel thickens as it cools.
• Cover tightly and store for up to 1 month in the refrigerator. Caramel solidifies in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove to desired consistency. See "What is the Texture of This Salted Caramel?" above.
