Chocolate Cookies
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Stir until combined.
Roll individual balls using a teaspoon of dough. Chill for four hours. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place cookies on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Pumpkin Spice Buttercream
Beat the butter and pumpkin in a mixer on high for 2 minutes. Add pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Use milk or additional powdered sugar to thicken or thin the frosting as needed.
Assemble the cookies by spreading frosting on the bottom of one completely cooled cookie and top with a second cookie.
