Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Milano Copycat Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine the plant butter and powdered sugar; beat until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and egg; mix on low speed until thoroughly combined.
  4. Gradually add gluten-free flour blend and salt; mix until the dough comes together.
  5. Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe 2-inch long lines onto prepared baking sheets.
  6. Gently press down the tops of the piped dough lines with a wet finger.
  7. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until lightly golden. Rotate trays halfway through.
  8. Melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl.
  9. Spread about 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate on one cookie and sandwich with another.
  10. Allow the assembled cookies to sit at room temperature to let the chocolate set.
