1/4 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. butter, cold and cut into cubes
1/4 c. peanut butter
pinch of salt
1/4 c. ice cold water

Combine all ingredients in a food processor or with a pastry cutter until combined.  Knead into a ball. Chill for 1 hour.  Roll out 1/8" thickness, cut into 4"x 6" rectangles. Spread 1/2 t. peanut butter on one side of the rectangle.  Add 1 tsp. jelly, any flavor.  Fold over and press sides together with a fork.  Poke holes with a fork to vent top.

Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.  Brush tops with milk about 10 minutes after they've been in the oven.  Bake until they are golden brown.  Let cool slightly. 

Peanut Butter glaze:
