Homemade Milano Cookies
Homemade Milano Cookies have tender cookies with a nice crunch sandwiched around a layer of rich dark chocolate in the center! They taste even better than the store bought version!
Servings: 24 milanos
Ingredients
- 1 cup softened salted butter
- 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 egg white room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 8 ounces chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat 1 cup softened salted butter, 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar, and ¾ cup granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer for 2-3 minutes until creamy and light. Add 2 large eggs, 1 egg white, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, then beat again, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt, mixing just until combined.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a ½-inch round piping tip. Pipe 2-inch lines a couple inches apart on the parchment-paper-lined baking sheets, leaving enough room for the cookies to spread a bit in the oven. Bake for 13-15 minutes, just until the edges are golden brown. Remove the cookies and cool completely.
- Meanwhile, melt 8 ounces chopped dark chocolate in a glass bowl set over, but not touching, simmering water in a pan, or in the microwave using short 20-second bursts of heat until melted and smooth.
- Gently spread some of the melted chocolate onto the bottom side of half of the cookies, then sandwich with another cookie on top. The melted chocolate will firm up and set as it cools. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.
