Creator Notes
It would no longer qualify as a New York bakery if it would no longer possess black-and-white cookies and in our home, it would no longer qualify as a New York Christmas Eve without these varieties of left out for Santa (along with some spiked eggnog). They’re in actual fact small cakes, but who’s going to argue? In my belief, I spend them this vogue: chocolate frosting, then the cookie section that was once under the chocolate frosting; then the white frosting, then that cookie section. I’m now unsure how Santa eats them, but I do know he does, which potential that of there is by no approach any left. This gluten-free version was once impressed by Zabars. —wssmom
Test Kitchen Notes
There is an art to producing an accurate Dim and White. I possess tried sooner than and unless now possess by no approach stumbled on fair the fair recipe. The cookie need to be relaxed and cakelike and the icing cannot be too runny or too thick. Wssmom’s Dim and White is the correct cookie. It be light and moist and fair the fair texture and the icing stays where you place it in disclose that you earn that perfect line of chocolate and white and its relaxed as silk. Santa need to fabricate a beeline to her home intellectual what’s calling forward to him under or by the tree. This cookie is lighter than many bakery B&W’s, and that makes it superior personally. I extremely imply you give this a attempt, its easy to fabricate and yields a in point of fact scrumptious cookie. —sdebrango
