Directions
For the cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream butter with both sugars. Add egg, vanilla, food coloring, and milk. Sift dry ingredients in a separate bowl; then add to wet mix. Measure by the teaspoon onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet, allowing 2 inches between each cookie as they will expand. Bake for 10 minutes or until just set. Allow to cool a few minutes before assembling.
For the filling: Blend butter and cream cheese. Add vanilla and powdered sugar until there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth. To assemble the sandwich cookies, use a spoon or a piping bag to measure a tablespoon-sized amount on one flat side of a cookie. Then, press together a second cookie of the same size, allowing the filling to squeeze out to the sides.
