Beat softened butter with brown and granulated sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt until evenly mixed.

Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
06 -
Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to firm up before shaping.
07 -
Scoop dough onto the lined baking sheet spacing cookies approximately 2 inches apart, pressing a small indentation in the center of each for caramel.
08 -
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, allowing cookies to remain slightly underbaked for a gooey center.

Immediately after baking, drizzle caramel sauce into each indentation and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
10 -
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
