Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, cream together brown sugar, butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
Scoop and bake: Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each dollop apart. Bake for about 10 minutes until soft, then let them cool completely.
Prepare the filling: Whip the butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble: Spread or pipe the filling onto one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie.
