Milano Cookies
Report
Copycat Milano Cookies look and taste just like the real thing - but bigger and better! The cookies are sweet and slightly crumbly, filled with a smooth chocolate filling. Surprisingly simple to make and ready in just 40 minutes.

Ingredients
- 1 unsalted butter at cool room temperature, stick, 113 grams
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar 133 grams
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg at cool room temperature, large
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 159 grams
- 1/2 teaspoon salt fine
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips 113 grams
Mint Layer (optional)*
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar 94 grams
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract pure
- 3-4 teaspoons water
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixture, use the paddle attachment to beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to combine. With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour and salt and beat until just combined.
- Transfer dough to a quart-size zip-top bag. With scissors, snip a 3/4-inch hole in one corner (or use a pastry bag with a plain tip). Pipe about 24 logs about 3 inches long, spacing 1/2 inch apart, onto two parchment-lined baking sheets. For best results, chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Bake until cookies are light golden at the edges, about 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to wire racks and let cool.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a small heat-proof bowl in the microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 15 seconds, until smooth.
- If desired, in a separate bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and 3 to 4 teaspoons of water.
- With a small offset spatula, spread the melted chocolate on the flat side of half the cookies and mint glaze on the other half (if using). Sandwich cookie halves together.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container up to 5 days.
Notes
- *I've included the ingredients and steps to make Mint Chocolate Milanos. Feel free to experiment with other extracts, such as orange or raspberry, to make other flavor variations - just keep in mind that extracts may vary in strength, so start with less and add a little more to taste as needed.
- Skip the glaze if you'd prefer plain chocolate filling.
