My cookies came out chewy instead of crisp like the Pepperidgefarm brand and not sure if that is the way they are supposed to be according to this recipe or if I could have done something differently. I cooked them for the 10 min. and took them out of the oven when the edges were browned.

Also, although this recipe tells to pipe out 2" of batter for each cookie it does not tell how thick or wide the 2" strip should be, so mine started out very narrow and by trial and error I got them wider.

Also, 1/4 of an orange for the zest was too much taste of orange in the cookies - maybe my orange was bigger than the orange used in the recipe. It would help if it could be more of a measurement than merely 1/4 of an orange-worth of zest.

The Milan Cookie was very easy to make..the #12 tip was perfect, and I made the line 2 inches long..they were dimensionally perfect. I left out the lemon extract and only put 1/4 tsp. of orange zest in the chocolate filling. They were just like the pepperidge farm in the store, but better!!! I highly recommend this recipe. Cookies can be frozen. Linda, CT

This recipe is more time intensive than I anticipated. The cookies turned out well, but it was impossible for a beginner like me to get the shapes consistent. I did not have access to a piping bag, so I just used a large gallon zip bag with a snipped edge for the batter. I was hesitant about adding the lemon extract, but I wanted to follow directions on the first run through. The lemon is overpowering and distracted from an otherwise delicious cookie. The chocolate filling stayed spreadable through at least 30 minutes of elapsed time, so I wouldn?t worry about it turning solid during your process. I followed an earlier suggestion to put them in the fridge after filling the cookies and they are now staying together! The cooking time was also perfect!

I would recommend this recipe minus the lemon extract.

I didn't know what a plain tip was (i'm assuming just a round tip? so i used tip#12 and the cookies came out mini. i used a silpat instead of parchment so didn't have any problem with having it stick. the chocolate was excellent with the orange zest. they were surprisingly easy to make too! very yummy and easy to snack!

I altered the recipe a bit, the chocolate was made of soy milk, margarine, chocolate chips and a splash of maple (only because i was out of vanilla extract - used it all in the cookies

I also put the cookies in the fridge and they are much the better for it second day (or morning, when i ate about half of them!

Easy to make and very tasty. Mine came out a little too crispy around the edges, and a little more chewy in the middle than I wanted, but I think with a little tweaking of temperature and such with my oven, I can get them even better. Thanks Gale!
