HOMEMADE  MILANO  COOKIES

This homemade Milano cookie recipe has a rich chocolate filling with a hint of orange sandwiched between two thin, crisp cookies. They’re less expensive than the store-bought cookie, and fun and easy to make!

 INGREDIENTS

– 12 tablespoons butter softened – 2 ½ cups powdered sugar – ⅞ cup egg whites from about 6 eggs – 2 tablespoons vanilla extract – 1 ½ cups flour Cookie Filling – ½ cup heavy cream – 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped – 1 orange zested

Prepare cookie filling according to recipe and then preheat oven to 350°.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the sugar.

Gradually beat in the egg whites. Add the vanilla extract and beat until well blended. Add the flour and mix until just incorporated.

With a small (¼-inch) plain tip #12, pipe 2-inch sections of batter onto a parchment-lined sheet pan, spacing them 2 inches apart as they spread.

Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden brown around the edges. Watch them closely so they don’t burn on the edges. 

Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes and remove to a cooling rack to cool completely before filling.

Spread a thin amount of the filling onto the flat side of a cookie while the filling is still soft and press the flat side of a second cookie on top. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
