Peppermint Cream Filling

Combine 1 cup of the powered sugar, butter, salt and extract.  Beat until light and fluffy.  Blend in remaining sugar alternately with the milk.

*I like to tint half of the frosting red and half of it green.

Take cooled cookies and match up halves and spread frosting on bottom and top with another to make a sandwich.
