Wrap and chill dough until firm enough to handle, about ⏱️ 30 min to ⏱️ 1 hour.

Shape balls
11
Form dough into 1 1/4-inch balls and flatten slightly, as these tend not to spread too much. Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake ⏱️ 9-10 minutes. They might seem a bit underdone, but will set nicely when cool.

Meanwhile, make the filling: Beat together the butter and peanut butter in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add in powdered sugar and beat until filling is smooth. Add 1 TB milk at a time, until desired consistency.
