PREHEAT oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

SCOOP out 2-tsp portions of dough and roll into balls. Place 16 cookies 1 in. apart on a prepared sheet. Bake until puffed and slightly cracked on top, about 5 min. Let cool for 1 min, then transfer to a rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.

Increase speed to medium and beat until light, 1 min. Add milk and beat for 2 min. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small star tip.
FLIP half of the cookies and pipe about 1 tbsp frosting onto each, then top with remaining cookies.
