1
In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the butter and chocolate chips and whisk together until both have melted. Add the brown sugar and cocoa powder to the pot and stir to combine. Take pan off the heat and quickly beat in the egg and salt until incorporated. Set aside.
2
In a small bowl, combine the baking soda and flour. Slowly add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir until just combined. Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4
Place round dough mounds on baking sheet spaced at least 2 inches apart. Using your thumb, make a well in the centre of each cookie. Fill each hole with dulce de leche, and then put a small amount of dough on top of the caramel to seal it in.
5
Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until the tops of cookies are just set. Remove from oven and sprinkle each cookie with some flaked sea salt.
6
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7
Cookies will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
