chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: chocolate chips

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: whole wheat flour

Almond flour is gluten-free and adds nuttiness.

Soften the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds until it's soft but not melted.

Add granulated sugar to the softened butter and cream them together until smooth.

Mix in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Add in one large egg and mix until combined.

Stir in baking powder to the mixture.

Gradually add flour to the mixture, mixing until a dough forms.

Divide the dough in half and roll out one half into a rectangle shape on parchment paper.

Place the rolled dough onto a cookie sheet and cut the edges to shape it like a Milano cookie.

Repeat the rolling and shaping process with the second half of the dough.

Bake both cookie halves in the oven until golden brown.

Allow the cookies to cool completely before making the ganache.

In a bowl, add half a bag of chocolate chips.

Heat heavy whipping cream in the microwave until hot, then pour it over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Whisk the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth to create ganache.

Take one cookie half, place it bottom side up, and spread ganache on top.

Place the second cookie half on top of the ganache to complete the sandwich.
