- Using a standing mixer, beat butter and peanut butter on medium speed until fluffy.
- Mix in the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract.
- Group your baked cookies into pairs, then spoon 1 Tablespoon of filling on the bottom cookie for each pair.
- Place a second cookie onto the top of the filling to create a sandwich.
