1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar (for filling)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
Scoop tablespoon-sized dollops onto prepared baking sheets two inches apart and bake for 10 minutes until set but soft.
Allow cookies to cool completely before preparing the filling by beating cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
Spread or pipe the filling onto half of the cooled cookies and top each with another cookie.
