I don’t know what it is about taking something that is usually store-bought and turning into something homemade that just makes me so excited. I think it’s the challenge to see if I can make it just as good, or even better!

I’ve done it before with these Homemade Fudge Rounds and these Hawaiian Bread Rolls. Now I won’t eat the store-bought versions!!

If you ever have any special requests, be sure to send them my way!

Homemade Milano Cookies Recipe Tools

For these Homemade Milano Cookies, there are a few small and inexpensive tools that make them much easier. I like to use my Ateco plain tip and a disposable piping bag (I buy them in bulk for cheap on Amazon – so handy!) to pipe out uniform pieces of cookie dough so they look just like the regular Milanos after they’re baked. I also like to use a small offset spatula to spread the filling over the cookies. Lastly, jumbo paper cupcake/muffin liners are perfect for serving these so they really look like the packaged Milanos. It makes it so much more fun to say they’re homemade!
