These keto Milano Cookies are so close to the real thing that you won't believe it. A thin layer of dark chocolate sandwiched between two crisp vanilla cookies, make these keto cookies so simple yet so delicious!
*Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees F (180 Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl combine the butter, vanilla, and egg. Next add the almond flour, baking soda, and sweetener. Mix everything until smooth and uniform.
Transfer this mixture to a piping bag (or a plastic sandwich bag with about ¼" cut off from one corner). I used no tip, but if you would like, a wide (¼", flat tip would work best.
Carefully pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet into 24 ovals roughly 2" long, by 1" wide, leaving about 1-2" between each cookie.
Place the baking sheet with the cookie dough into the freezer for at least 10 minutes (a longer time will not harm the dough). Then transfer to the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or just until the edges of the cookies begin to brown.
Reduce the oven temp to 300 and bake an additional 5 minutes, checking frequently to ensure that they aren't over browning. The end result should be toasty brown on the bottom and edges and white on the top.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool completely before removing from the baking sheet. They will be soft and cake-like when you remove them from the oven but will crisp as they sit out.
Allow them to sit out on the counter until they are crisp enough to easily handle. This time will vary based upon the temp and humidity of the room, but generally, they need at least one hour up to overnight.
Add the chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and heat for 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted.
Carefully spread a thin layer of melted chocolate onto the bottom of one cookie, and top it with another cookie to form a sandwich. Allow the chocolate to harden before enjoying!
Notes
*It is super important to the end result that your oven is preheated before putting the cookies in to bake. Otherwise, they will spread too much and be very thin and fragile.
