Milano Is Releasing a New Cookie for the First Time in 2 Years (2024)
Everyone knows there are different snacks for each occasion. When you want crunchy food you can eat by the handful, maybe you grab the Cheez-It box. If you’re looking for something quick and sweet, maybe it’s a Hershey’s bar.
But if you’re craving something extra indulgent, it’s got to be a Milano cookie. You just can’t beat the thin, crisp wafer cookies sandwiched with a layer of rich, decadent chocolate.
Pepperidge Farm has a pretty vast portfolio of Milano cookies—from classic chocolate to fruity raspberry and refreshing mint—and the brand tends to release seasonal varieties for the fall and winter months.
So, it’s quite rare that we get a new limited-time Milano cookie outside of pumpkin spice, peppermint, and hot cocoa. But we guess the cookie higher powers have been looking out for us because we’re getting a new limited-edition Milano cookie for the first time since its holiday launch in 2022—and it’s not even celebrating anything.
Pepperidge Farm Launching New Milano London Fog
This spring, Pepperidge Farm is releasing a new London Fog-flavored Milano. The cookie is inspired by the fan-loved latte, which is made with Earl Grey tea, vanilla, and milk. The new Milano combines the Earl Grey and vanilla flavors of the tea-based drink with the cookie you already love.
The London Fog Milano features layers of Earl Grey, milk chocolate, and vanilla sandwiched between the classic, delicate biscuits.
This new flavor is heading to retailer shelves in March for a limited time. It will be available at all major stores that carry Milano cookies.
Pepperidge Farm also announced its teaming up with a new celebrity partner for a line of ads featuring her favorite products—including the new London Fog Milanos. Who better to represent the brand than British actress Hannah Waddingham, best known for her role as the tea and biscuit-loving owner of Richmond AFC, Rebecca Welton, in “Ted Lasso?” Waddingham’s ads will showcase her love for Pepperidge Farm’s Milano Double Dark Cookies and Hearty White Bread, which, unlike Milano London Fog cookies, are available all year round.
So, once you’ve enjoyed the last London Fog Milanos Biscuits with the Boss style, you can still grab Waddingham’s other favorite Milanos to indulge like a pro.
Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies were created by putting together two of Pepperidge Farm's "Naples" cookie. In 1957, Pepperidge Farm had an open-faced cookie called the "Naples," but as the company started selling them in the South, the warmer temperatures melted the chocolate.

What are Milano Cookies? Sold commonly in grocery stores across the US, Milano cookies are deliciously buttery oval-shaped cookies, sandwiched together with a layer of chocolate. Based on Italian-style cookies, the cookie itself is a little crisp and somewhat shortbread-like in texture.
Milano cookies are usually best consumed by the best before date on the package. However, if stored properly in a cool, dry place, they can last a couple of weeks beyond that date, though their quality may begin to decline.
Cookies appear to have their origins in 7th century AD Persia, shortly after the use of sugar became relatively common in the region. They spread to Europe through the Muslim conquest of Spain. By the 14th century, they were common in all levels of society throughout Europe, from royal cuisine to street vendors.
Cookies have been traced back to 7th century Persia, known as "kolompeh" or "qoluche" made from nuts, honey and spices. In medieval Europe, 14th century, they were called "biscuit" made of flour, sugar, and spices. Over time, butter, eggs and other ingredients were added, leading to the modern soft and sweet cookies.
Pepperidge Farm introduced the Naples cookie in 1956, an open-faced cookie with chocolate on top—but the chocolate was melting in warmer temperatures. The fix? Add a second cookie like a sandwich. And in 1957, the Milano was born.
Are Milano Cookies Italian? Technically, no. The cookies were actually created by Pepperidge Farms in 1956. That being said, the cookie is based on Italian-style cookies.
Bakery or homemade cookies can be stored at room temperature two to three weeks or two months in the refrigerator. Cookies retain their quality when stored in the freezer for eight to 12 months. Moist bars, such as cheesecake and lemon bars, can be refrigerated for seven days.
Most homemade cookies will maintain their taste and texture for up to 3 days. If you leave them out for too long, the cookies begin to harden or dry out. To prevent cookies from becoming stale, cover them with plastic wrap or keep in an airtight container.
Pizzelles are the oldest known cookie and originated in the mid-section of Italy. They were made many years ago for the “Festival of the Snakes” also known as the “Feast Day of San Domenico”.
– DoubleTree by Hilton made history when its signature, warm chocolate chip cookie became the first-ever food baked in space, in experiments designed to make long-duration space travel more welcoming and hospitable.
