Method: 

• Prepare cookie dough: 
• In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. 
• In another large bowl, beat butter and sugar with a mixer at low speed until blended. Increase speed to high; beat until light and fluffy, 5 minutes.  
• Reduce speed to low; beat in eggs and vanilla until mixed, then beat in flour mixture just until blended. Divide dough into 4 quarters; flatten each into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight.
• When you're ready to make the cookies, preheat oven to 350ºF. 
•  On a lightly floured surface, using a floured rolling pin, roll 1 disk of dough until slightly thinner than 1/4-inch thick; keep remaining dough refrigerated. 
•  Use 3-inch round cookie cutters or a glass to cut dough into as many cookies as possible; reserve trimmings. 
•  Place cookies, 1 inch apart, on 2 ungreased large cookie sheets.
•  Bake until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. 
•  Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool. Repeat with remaining dough and trimmings, one disk at a time.

Meanwhile, prepare marshmallow filling: 

• With an electric mixer, beat butter, marshmallow crème and vanilla in small bowl until well blended. 
•   Gradually beat in sugar, then blend in 1 Tbsp. of the milk. 
•  Tint the filling pink using red food coloring. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp. milk if necessary for desired consistency.
•   Spread about 1 Tbsp. filling between 2 cookies to make a sandwich, pressing the cookies gently together. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
•  Line cookie sheets with waxed paper. 
• Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a double-boiler over low heat, stirring often, until just melted and smooth.   
•  Dip half of each sandwich cookie sandwich into the chocolate. 
•  Place cookies on lined cookie sheets and refrigerate until chocolate is firm. 

Store refrigerated in airtight containers, with waxed paper separating layers of cookies.
