  • Cookies:
  • Cream butter, sugar and vanilla in a large mixing bowl, 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour and cocoa and mix on low speed, scraping the bowl frequently, until dough comes together.

  • Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes. Cool on racks 30 minutes.
  • Vanilla buttercream:
  • Cream butter and half the icing sugar in large bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla. Beat in remaining icing sugar gradually. Blend well.
  • Assembly:
  • Spread cookie with buttercream and top with second cookie.
