Homemade Milano Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, melted

Preparation

Step 1


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, Add the egg, vanilla, and salt and beat until well mixed. Using a spoon, stir in the flour until well blended.

Fill the cookie press with dough according to the instructions and fit with the desired shape disk (preferably something oval to replicate the Milano shape). Press the dough out onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing the cookies 1 inch apart.

Bake until the cookies are lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool. Once cool, spread the bottom side of one cookie with melted chocolate and place a second cookie on top. Repeat until all cookies are sandwiched. Makes 20-30 sandwich cookies.
