Categories     Cookies

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 and 3/4 cups (219g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled), or more as needed, see note*
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 Tablespoons (145g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup (80g) full-fat sour cream, at room temperature*
5 and 1/2 cups (660g) confectioners' sugar, sifted (measure before sifting)
7 Tablespoons (105ml) whole milk, divided
2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons (15g) unsweetened natural or dutch-process cocoa powder

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.

BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES



Black and White Cookies image

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!

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 12 black and white cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup sour cream
2 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder

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.

BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES



Black and White Cookies image

This is a classic New York treat, found in just about every bakery in the city. The cookie is flavored with lemon and vanilla, and the cookies are glazed with half-white and half-chocolate icing, which dries to a slightly hard finish. If you do not have cake flour, you can use 7/8 cup all-purpose flour plus 2 tbsp cornstarch for each cup of cake flour. This recipe is adapted from the America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book by Caroline Russock at Serious Eats. http://bit.ly/6aToYv

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb cake flour (4 cups)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
12 1/4 ounces granulated sugar (1 3/4 cups)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup water
1 1/4 lbs confectioners' sugar (5 cups)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 -4 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Place oven racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Preheat oven to 350°F Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or Silpats.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.
  • In a large bowl (or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment), beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4-6 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla and lemon. Stop and scrape down bowl and beaters as needed.
  • Reduce speed to low and add 1/3 of dry ingredients. When incorporated, add 1/2 of the milk. Add half the remaining dry ingredients, then the rest of the milk, then the last of the dry ingredients, pausing after each addition until it is incorporated.
  • Scoop 1/4-cup mounds of batter onto prepared sheets, spaced 2" apart (you should get about 6 on each sheet). Use a wet finger or the back of a wet spoon to smooth out the tops. Bake until edges are just turning light golden brown, about 15 minute At about 7 minutes, rotate each sheet 180° and swap racks.
  • Let cookies cool on racks 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks until completely cool, at least 1 hour. Let sheets cool and replace parchment before preparing the next batch of cookies.
  • When all the cookies are done and cooled, prepare the icings. Bring the corn syrup and water to a boil over medium-high heat. Off heat, whisk in confectioner's sugar and vanilla until smooth. Remove half to a separate bowl; whisk melted chocolate and water into one bowl (add water as needed to achieve a spreadable consistency).
  • Place a wire rack over newspaper. Spread 2 tbsp of one icing (you may start with either one) on half of the flat side of each cookie. Let stand on rack until the icing is just set, about 15 minutes. Spread 2 tbsp of the other icing on the other half of each cookie (you can overlap them slightly), then let stand on the rack until icings are fully set, about 60 minutes.

PERFECT BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES



Perfect Black and White Cookies image

Tender, moist and scented with vanilla, almond and lemon, these classic confections popular all over the Midwest and the state of New York are more cake than cookie, with a fine crumb and velvet texture from the sour cream in the batter. Even better, they are glazed with both vanilla and chocolate, so you don't have to pick favorites. These are best eaten within 24 hours of baking, when the cake is at its softest and the glaze at its snappiest. But if you store them in an airtight container at room temperature, they'll be good for a few days longer.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 to 14 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup/80 milliliters sour cream or whole-milk yogurt
1/3 cup/80 milliliters whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons/200 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups/300 grams confectioners' sugar
Boiling water, as needed
1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of fine sea salt
2 1/2 ounces/70 grams unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
2 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange racks in top and bottom thirds, and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sea salt and baking soda. In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, milk, vanilla, lemon zest and almond extract.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Reduce speed to low and beat in 1/3 of the flour mixture, then 1/3 of the sour cream mixture. Repeat until both mixtures are incorporated, scraping sides of bowl as necessary. (Mixture will be the consistency of thick poundcake batter.)
  • Dollop heaping 1/4-cup scoops of batter onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. (You should have 12 to 14 cookies.) Bake for 6 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets. Continue to bake until the cookies have firmed up and spring back when lightly pressed in the center, 6 to 9 minutes. (They'll brown only on the bottoms.) Take care not to overbake, or they will dry out.
  • Transfer baking sheets to wire racks and let cool for 15 minutes, then transfer cookies directly to racks to cool completely.
  • While the cookies cool, make the glaze: Place the confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl and whisk in 3 tablespoons boiling water, the corn syrup, vanilla and salt. Continue to whisk, adding more boiling water as needed, until you have a thick yet spreadable frosting that is the texture of hot fudge sauce. (Too thick is preferable to too thin.) Flip each cookie over and spoon glaze over half of its flat side, spreading to edges with the back of the spoon. Place on wire rack to set. You will have vanilla frosting left over.
  • Whisk melted chocolate into vanilla frosting, then whisk in cocoa and enough room temperature water to make a thick yet spreadable glaze. Glaze the bare half of each cookie. Let glaze set for at least 1 to 2 hours before serving.

NEW YORK CITY BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES



New York City Black and White Cookies image

Look to the cookie. These cake-style cookies are a staple in New York City. Growing up we used to buy these all the time and you can still get them in every bake-shop in the city. They were made famous to the rest of the world by an episode of Seinfeld entitled "The Dinner Party". They are more like small cakes than crunchy or chewy cookies, and should be roughly the size of the palm of your hand, if not, bigger. These are great for taking to a potluck, or if you've got a wayward New Yorker around.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups icing sugar or 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon clear corn syrup
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon water (approx)
1/4 cup cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl.
  • In small bowl or cup, mix together buttermilk and vanilla.
  • Beat butter and white sugar together in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes or until it's evenly distributed.
  • Add egg to butter and sugar mixture, and beat until blended.
  • Gradually beat in flour mixture one cup at a time, and add in buttermilk mixture between each cup of flour, and mix until smooth. It will be necessary to scrape down the sides of the bowl while mixing.
  • Spoon batter in 1/4 cup size servings onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake on middle rack for about 15-17 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and spring back when touched.
  • Place on a cooling rack, and allow to cool completely before icing.
  • Stir together icing sugar, corn syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and 1/2 Tbsp of water in bowl until smooth.
  • Place half of mixture into separate bowl and add cocoa powder, and remaining water bit by bit until it is the same consistency as the white icing. If the icing is too runny, add more icing sugar until it is smooth and spreadable.
  • Turn cooled cookies flat side up, and spread icing with pastry spatula, or butter knife. White over one half, chocolate over the other. The icing does not set solid on these cookies, and does not harden, but it dries enough to be wrapped as they are sold in the city. They can be wrapped individually in cellophane, or sealed in a plastic container.

BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES



Black and White Cookies image

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!

Mini Black And White Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

Make these classic New York deli cookies at home with this easy recipe. Each cookie is topped with vanilla and chocolate icing, making every bite better than the last.

Provided by Aleya Zenieris

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 1h55m

Yield 28 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 19

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
2 teaspoons McCormick® vanilla extract
⅓ cup full-fat sour cream
1 cup all purpose flour
¾ cup cake flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 ½ tablespoons light corn syrup
2 teaspoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon McCormick® vanilla extract
1 ½ tablespoons whole milk
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon water, as needed
cookie scoop, 7/8 ounce

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:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. This will help them to cream together more easily.
  • 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 keep their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
