Delicious Black and White Cookie Recipe

  • Soft and pillow-like, these classic Black and White Cookies are a staple in New York and so addictive. The cookies have a light cake-like texture and then topped with half vanilla and half chocolate icing, giving it its iconic look. You’ll never have to pick a favorite flavor when enjoying one of these!
    RECIPE: preppykitchen.com/black-and-w...
    These cookies, also known as Half-Moon Cookies, are the best of both worlds. They’re half way between a cake and a cookie. The icing is half chocolate and half vanilla. But don’t be mistaken and think that these cookies are half as good because I promise you that they are absolutely delicious!

      @jessicaharris1608 Před 3 lety

      I've noticed a distinct difference between what he made, black and whites and half moons. Half moons from Hemstraughts (sorry about the spelling) or their recipe, are IMO the true half moons. I had black and whites once and they had a beautiful smooth glaze but they were sorely disappointing in flavor, perhaps because I'm used to Hemstraughts style half moons. (I'm also from upstate NY, between Albany and Utica.)

When I was a little girl, loooong ago, my dad used to buy these cookies and, sometimes, the Linzer Tarts for me from the coffee truck where he picked up coffee every morning before work. He passed when I was a little girl and these are near and dear to my heart! Thanks, John, for reminding me of this lovely and happy time in my life! ❤️

Thanks for the b/w cookies. Reminded me of a co-worker of mine who had, over 30 years ago, called her favorite neighborhood baker in New York and asked for his B/W cookie recipe which he did. It was for making endless cookies for his bakery. Then she forwarded the recipe to a friend in Portland who cut down the recipe for family (smaller batch) use.. amazing cookies. Can’t wait to try making them! Thank you for your amazing videos and yummy recipes! Biggest fan.
