This copycat recipe for gluten free Milano cookies tastes just like the crispy vanilla cookies with the thin sliver of fudge filling.

About Nicole Hunn

Hi, I’m Nicole. I create gluten free recipes that really work and taste as good as you remember. No more making separate meals when someone is GF, or buying packaged foods that aren’t good enough to justify the price. At Gluten Free on a Shoestring, “good, for gluten free” just isn’t good enough!

    That’s so funny cause the Pepperidge Farm Milano commercial has been all over my tv lately and I never even liked those cookies, but now that I can’t eat them I can’t stop thinking about them. These look wonderful!

    nice hot cup of java…or hot cocoa…
    My favorite are the Orange Milanos, so experimenting I will go!
    As usual, Queen Nicole of Gee Eff Land RULES! :)

      Hi, Pam,
      Just add some orange zest to the chocolate ganache. You can also replace the lemon juice in the cookies with orange juice or, better yet, orange extract. I wouldn’t add zest to the cookie batter, though, since the zest will almost certainly clump. Enjoy!
      xoxo Nicole

    Oh I was watching a Milano commercial the other day, drooling btw, and wishing for a GF version. This morning I wake up and here it is. I’m not sure if I should try it, it might become my newest obsession. Thanks Santa, um I mean, Nicole!

    So Nicole, have you ever thought about doing a whole cookbook on cookies? Maybe cookies and bars? I know I would buy one. :) But the way, we loved the gingerbread cookies.
