Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
1 cup marshmallow fluff (for filling)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time followed by vanilla.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture alternately with milk until just combined.
Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each dollop.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until set; let cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
While cooling, prepare the filling by beating together butter, powdered sugar, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla until smooth.
Once cookies are cool, spread the filling between two cookie halves to assemble.
