Homemade Milano Cookies
A healthy little treat for our in home date nights!
Ingredients
The Cookie:
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ cup organic powdered sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 large egg white room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
The Filling:
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 ounces dark chocolate or coconut sugar sweetened chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with non-toxic parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter with the powder sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, egg white, and vanilla until well combined.
- Add the almond flour and salt and beat until the mixture is uniform, scraping down the sides of the bowl and the beaters as necessary.
- Cut a 1 inch diameter hole in a piping bag and fill with the dough. Pipe 2 inch long logs onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are golden brown, and turn the oven off. Remove and let cool 15 minutes, then return to the still warm oven for another 15 to 20 minutes, keeping your eye on them, to help them crisp up.
- Let cool completely before filling.
The Filling:
- In a small saucepan over medium low heat, bring the cream to just a simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let sit 5 minutes to melt.
- Spread the bottom of one cookie with about 1 teaspoon of the chocolate filling. Top with another cookie. Place on a cooling rack until firm.
Storage:
- Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
