Cream together butter and sugars. Add milk and egg; mix well. Combine dry ingredients and gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and chill 2 hours or until firm.

Roll chilled dough on a floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut with a 1 1/2 inch cookie cutter and place 1 inch apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 for 5-6 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Combine filling ingredients and spread on half of the cookies and top with the other half.
