Caramel sauce can mimic the flavor and texture.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls.

Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.

Make a small indentation in the center of each ball with your thumb.

Fill each indentation with dulce de leche.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Dust cooled cookies with powdered sugar and cocoa powder before serving.
