Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated. Gradually add the egg whites, one at a time, mixing until smooth.
Slowly mix in the all-purpose flour until a smooth, thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip, or use a plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe 2-inch-long, oblong shapes onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets.
While the cookies cool, prepare the chocolate filling. Melt the dark chocolate with the heavy cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly until thickened but still spreadable.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a small amount of the melted chocolate onto the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie flat-side down.
Repeat until all the cookies are paired. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your homemade Milano cookies!
