Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine. Reduce to low speed and add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream. Beat everything on low until combined and no pockets of flour remain. Batter is extremely thick.
- Using a greased 1/4-cup dry measuring cup, drop mounds of dough 4 inches apart on prepared baking sheets- 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before icing.
- Whisk the confectioners' sugar, 6 Tablespoons milk, the corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt together in a medium bowl. Transfer 1 cup to a separate bowl, add remaining Tablespoon of milk and the cocoa powder. Whisk until combined.
- Spread vanilla icing onto half of the cookies- the flat side. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until set so that the icings do not bleed into each other. Spread chocolate icing onto other side and allow the icing to set completely, about 1 hour, before serving.
- Cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix butter until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add granulated sugar; mix until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Mix in flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk.
- Roll tablespoons of dough into balls (or use a 1/2-ounce-capacity ice-cream scoop); place them 2 inches apart on lined sheets. Bake until bottoms turn golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool.
- Whisk confectioners' sugar, corn syrup, lemon juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until smooth. If necessary, add more water (icing should be a bit thicker than honey). Transfer half to a small bowl. Stir in cocoa; if necessary, thin with water. Spread white icing on half of each cookie's flat side, and cocoa icing on other half; let set 30 minutes.
BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES
The black and white cookie is a bakery classic, especially in New York. This recipe delivers a big soft and cakey cookie loaded with vanilla, and topped with thick, sweet vanilla and chocolate icings. There's actually not a lot of work that goes into these cookies, but be patient and let the icing set to a nice matte finish before serving or storing. They're worth the wait!

Steps:
- Make the cookies: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350˚ F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
- Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla, beating well after each addition.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined. Beat in the sour cream, then beat in the remaining flour mixture.
- Using a large ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measure, scoop mounds of dough and place 3 inches apart on the baking sheets (6 cookies per pan). Bake, rotating and switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and the bottoms and edges are just starting to brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then remove the cookies to a rack to cool completely.
- Make the icing: Sift the confectioners' sugar into a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons milk, the corn syrup and vanilla and whisk until smooth and very thick but still spreadable. Remove half of the icing (about 1/2 cup) to a separate bowl and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth, thinning with up to 1 tablespoon milk, if needed.
- Turn the cookies flat-side up. Using a small offset spatula, spread the white icing on half of each cookie, making a straight, clean line in the center of the cookie. Return the cookies to the rack, and let sit, preferably in a cool place, until the icing is firm with a matte finish, at least 30 minutes. Spread the chocolate icing on the other half of the cookies. Let the icing set at room temperature, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer for 3 minutes. Add eggs and beat for 30 seconds more. Add lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon extract. Mix together. Add flour mixture and milk gradually in equal 1/3 proportions, mixing batter well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Spoon cookie batter out 1/4-cup portions onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges just begin to turn golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, melt butter for vanilla icing in a double boiler over medium heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Add water gradually until vanilla icing comes together. Heat over the double boiler until icing falls off the back of a spoon in thick ribbons, 2 to 4 minutes. Set heat to low.
- Frost 1/2 of the golden brown underside of each cooled cookie with vanilla icing using a rubber spatula. Allow excess to dribble back into the double boiler. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, set the double boiler back to medium heat and add confectioners' sugar, semisweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, corn syrup, butter, vanilla extract, and food coloring to the remaining vanilla icing. Mix well, adding water until icing is combined. Heat until icing falls off of the back of a spoon in thick ribbons, 2 to 4 minutes. Set heat to low.
- Frost the other 1/2 of the cooled cookies using a rubber spatula in the same manner as before. Let cookies cool until icing sets, 1 to 2 hours. Serve.

BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES
The iconic deli cookie of New York is coming to your kitchen. That's right, you can bake perfect Black and Whites with this recipe. Soft, cakey and a tiny bit tangy (we use lemon extract and buttermilk), these cookies are perfectly complemented by their sweet half-chocolate, half-white icing. That icing also gives them a pretty, glossy look-these could hold their own in any deli case-and just like the store-bought ones, they're oversized (each cookie uses 1/4 cup of dough!). So, bake up a batch of these, and you'll be able to satisfy the most voracious of cookie monsters!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes, increasing to medium speed if necessary. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined, 1-2 minutes. Add half (2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons) of the sour cream and mix until combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and cake flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Alternate adding half of the flour mixture and the remaining sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour and beating on low speed between each addition until just incorporated.
- Using a rounded tablespoon or level #40 cookie scoop, scoop the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart. Dip your fingers in water or lightly spray with nonstick spray and gently flatten the tops of the cookies (this will help prevent them from doming while baking).
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, until light golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, make the icings: In a medium bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, corn syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
- Transfer half of the icing to a separate medium bowl and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth. Add water, ½ teaspoon at a time, until the chocolate icing has the same consistency as the white icing.
- Once cookies have cooled completely, flip them over so the flat bottoms are facing up. Using an offset spatula or flat knife, spread a thin layer of white icing over half of a cookie and a thin layer of chocolate icing over the other half. Place on a wire rack, icing side up, and repeat with the remaining cookies. Let the icing set for at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This includes using real butter, not margarine, and using pure vanilla extract, not imitation.
- Make sure your oven is preheated before baking the cookies. This will help them to bake evenly.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set properly.
- Use a good quality chocolate for dipping the cookies. This will make a big difference in the taste of the finished cookies.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to heat it on low power and stir it frequently.
- For a fun variation, try dipping the cookies in white chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
Conclusion:
Mini black and white cookies are a delicious and classic treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect mini black and white cookies that everyone will love.
