There are a couple of ways to join these. You can do a normal butt & scribe joint, but it's not really necessary as there's no postformed edge.
On the other hand, if you simply butt joint them, you'll have a line of edging through the joint which looks bad.
What you can do is effectively a very small, shallow butt & scribe - simply rout away the edging from your 'female' piece (to expose the chipboard front edge), sand the front corner of the edging on the 'male' piece to suit, and then join them.
The result is a nice, tight joint, and can look better than a normal butt & scribe joint, particularly if it's a woodgrain laminate.
