Ebony & Ivory, Perfect Harmony in a Cookie

Published by Brad on December 15th, 2009 - in Uncategorized

 

Black and Whites Cookie

A New York City deli classic, chocalate and vanilla joining harmoniously with a lemon cookie, no wonder everyone loves New York….

When trying to decide which Christmas cookies to make this year,  Sharyn (my lovely wife) searched foodnetwork.com.  The Black and Whites (Deli! Deli! Deli!) recipe, from Retro Desserts by Wayne Harley Brachman, seemed perfect.  We enjoy these sweet treats every time we are in NYC, making a point of getting a few to bring home too.  They would be a unique addition to our holiday cookies that we give to friends and family.

The recipe was easy to follow, but we had to make twice the icing necessary to frost all the cookies.  Keep the frosting warm in a double boiler so that it does not harden too quickly while you apply it.

Thank you for reading my blog.

    One of my favorite songs, blended with a wonderful recipe to make a good looking cookie. The heart shape makes it look cute. Should be very good. Save some for me Brad.

      I definately will save you a cookie Lady Mystery, It’s been a “heart” filled week full of love and your comment was the icing on the cake, or should I say cookie…..Thanks for your kindness.

      Thanks Natasha, traditional B & W cookies are round but Sharyn and I cut a few with different shapes, the heart seemed perfect for a NYC cookie.
