Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cream together butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

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

Stir in vanilla extract and milk until combined.

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

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

Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft.

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

Prepare the filling by whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Spread or pipe cream onto the flat side of half the cookies.

Top with remaining cookies to create sandwiches.

Optional: Decorate with chocolate or coconut flakes.
