The Milano cookie is a trademarked cookie manufactured by Pepperidge Farm as part of its series of "European" cookies. Each cookie consists of a thin layer of chocolate and, depending on the variety, different flavored filling sandwiched between two biscuit cookies. The cookie is marketed as the Monaco in Canada; local company Milano Bakeries had established prior rights to the "Milano" brand for cookies sold in that country.[1][2]
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.
Many additional varieties are marketed, 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.
Milano cookies have primarily been marketed as an indulgence food.[3] Pepperidge Farm has taken legal action against alleged imitation cookies.[4]
