Preparation
Step 1
For the frosting:
In a stand mixer, whip butter and sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add cocoa powder, flour, vanilla and salt, and whip until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
For the cookies:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand mixer, combine the egg yolk and 1/2 of the Brownie Batter Frosting and whip until incorporated. Add baking soda and flour, and continue mixing until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of cookie batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes. Do not overbake or cookies will be hard.
Remove from oven and cool on a cooling rack. Once cool, frost each with a small dollop of the remaining Brownie Batter Frosting.
Heat dark chocolate candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Carefully spoon about 2 teaspoons of chocolate over each frosted cookie to cover the frosting, then sprinkle with a few crystals of coarse sea salt.
