The Milano cookie, called Monaco in Canada, is a cookie produced by Pepperidge Farm as part of its series of "European" cookies. Each cookie has a thin layer of chocolate and filling sandwiched in between two biscuit cookies.
The Milano was created as a result of Pepperidge Farm's original cookie concept, the Naples, which was a single vanilla wafer cookie topped with dark chocolate. However, hot weather would make the chocolate melt off the cookie, so Pepperidge Farm added another biscuit to hold the chocolate.
Many flavors have been introduced, such as milk chocolate and double chocolate. Other flavors include a layer of mint, sweet orange paste, dulce de leche and lemon in addition to some form of chocolate.
Pepperidge Farm took legal action against a single company for an alleged attempt to imitate their cookies in 2015. Milano cookies themselves have nearly the same taste and composite as langue de chat biscuits found across Europe, Asia, and South America.
