Print my template, line a quarter cookie sheet with parchment paper and slide my paper template beneath so the lines show through the parchment.
Preheat the oven at 350 F.
Make cookies
Add ingredients to a bowl and blend up until creamy.
1 ¼ cup oat flour, ¼ cup unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, ⅛ teaspoon salt
Spoon your batter into a frosting bag with the tip cut off. I cut the tip so the opening is about 1-inch and push it into a glass to make filling it easier.
Pro-tip:Chill the dough 30 minutes in the refrigerator before baking. If you bake in two batches, leave unbaked batter in refrigerator before piping and baking. Keeping it chilled helps contain spreading and keep the nice oval shape.
Pipe 3-inch cookies along the lines you see through the parchment paper.
Slide the paper template out from beneath the parchment paper
Bake 18 minutes or until edges are tinged with brown.
Let the cookies cool in the pan. Transfer them to a cooling rack.
Make filling
When the cookies are cooled, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave for 60 seconds. Stir the chocolate until all chips are melted. Spread the chocolate on one side of a cookies, and press another on top.
1 cup chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Let them set at room temperature.
Store the Cookies
Store them at room temperature in a sealed container for 2-3 days or refrigerate for a week. They can also be frozen in an airtight container for three months.

This cookie is actually a spin-off of their "Naples" cookie.Are Milano cookies from Milan? No, Milano Cookies are not from the city Milan in Italy? They are made by the American-based company in 1956.
