Instructions

Beat butter with powdered sugar for about 3 minutes. Beat in flour, salt and peanut butter. Mixture will be crumbly. Add in milk and mix with hands.
Dump mixture (will still be slightly crumbly) and knead dough together on a piece of parchment paper. Press into a 12x10 rectangle. Slide parchment paper onto a large baking sheet. Press the candies into the top of the dough.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Cut immediately and allow to cool.
Separate and store in air tight container. ENJOY.

Notes

Make ahead. After combining the ingredients for the dough, roll into a log shape, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake. When ready to bake, slice log into 1/4-inch slices, press candies on top of cookie and bake as directed. These will be shaped similarly to our icebox cookies.
