Instructions
To make the Vanilla Wafer Cookies
Cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla extract well.
Add the egg and beat until fluffy.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix dry ingredients into the butter mixture just until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet. Press the dough balls down slightly with the bottom of a drinking glass.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the Fudge Frosting Filling
Beat all the frosting ingredients together well until smooth. Use only enough milk to bring the frosting to a spreadable texture. It is best for these cookies to have the frosting as stiff as possible.
