10 tablespoons (1 and 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup cocoa powder

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar with a wooden spoon until pale and fluffy.; stir in egg yolk.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until a dough forms. Drop dough by level teaspoons, 1 inch apart, onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake until cookies are puffed and cracked, about 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough using fresh parchment. Tap baking sheet on counter to flatten cookies.
Make frosting: In a bowl, beat together caramel and butter with a wooden spoon until smooth; gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth.
Spread frosting on flat sides of half the cookies and top with remaining cookies.
