Some cookie brands are so beloved they’ve practically created their own categories. Oreos, Chip’s Ahoy, and Nilla Wafers need no introduction. They’re so iconic, they’ve basically dropped “cookie” from their names entirely.

Milanos live in that same tier of excellence. When you see its simple, time-honored label, you know exactly what you’re in for: two buttery shortbread cookies, perfectly oval-shaped and sandwiched around a delicate, but decadent layer of chocolate.

Now, from that classic formula, Milano has launched several specialty flavors over the years, from Mint to Caramel to the latest London Fog, but the essential elements have stayed the same: crispy cookies and rich chocolate.

Well now, a whole new type of Milano is hitting the shelves, one that will be distinctly different from the cookies we’ve known and loved through the years. But, rest assured, it'll be just as delicious as ever.

Milano Releases Its First-Ever White Chocolate Cookies

This month, Milano is coming out with three new cookies with a brand-new flavor profile: white chocolate.

The cookies are filled with a creamy white chocolate base that gives way to more delicate, nuanced flavors. Milano’s venture into fruit flavors began with Orange, Lemon, and Raspberry, and now it's fully embracing the trend with even more fruity options. A whole new era of Milano has arrived, and we’re totally here for it.

The first flavor in the white chocolate line is Lemon White Chocolate, which blends the tangy zest of lemon with the smooth sweetness of white chocolate for a refreshing and balanced combo. “That lemon one with a cup of tea—I can just imagine,” said one fan.

Next, Strawberry White Chocolate offers a berry-forward flavor that sounds, and looks, delicious. And, last but not least, Coconut White Chocolate takes the cookies in a tropical direction, combining the creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the nutty flavor of coconut.

“Finally! I need them all!” fans are raving.

The cookies have already been spotted at Target, and early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. “Currently eating the lemon and strawberry—sooo good,” one fan reported. “Like these weren't dangerous enough,” joked another. Even self-professed white chocolate skeptics are eager to try these new releases. “Not a fan of white chocolate, but I love lemon and coconut. Can't wait to try!” one person commented.

“It’s no secret that our Milano cookie is one of the most iconic and beloved in the Pepperidge Farm portfolio. Now, we’re reimagining the classic with the introduction of Milano White Chocolate,” said Ama Auwarter, vice president of bakery and cookies. “Creamy white chocolate allows us to deliver more bright, vibrant flavor profiles for a first-of-its-kind Milano experience worth savoring.”

These new white chocolate Milano cookies will roll out nationwide throughout the month with a suggested retail price of $5.09. With vibrant, fresh flavors that feel perfect for spring, we’re excited to see where this new era of Milano takes us—and we’re hoping these white chocolate treats stick around for many seasons to come.
