Best 3 Black And Whites Recipes

BLACK-AND-WHITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed or parchment paper. In a mixer, cream the butter. Add the granulated sugar and beat until fluffy. Add the eggs, milk, and extracts and mix to combine. In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, and salt and mix well. Add the dry ingredients to the sugar-egg mixture and mix to blend. Using an ice-cream scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared pans. With a spatula, press and spread each cookie into a circle about 5 inches in diameter and about 3/8-inch thickness. Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden. Let cool on wire racks.
• Icing: In a medium bowl, stir the sugar, milk, and vanilla together until it forms a smooth icing. Transfer half of the icing to another bowl and stir in the cocoa powder and milk until smooth.
• When cool, turn cookies over, so the flat side faces up. Spread white icing on half of each flat surface, then spread the other half with chocolate icing. Let set at room temperature for 30 minutes.

ZABAR'S BLACK-AND-WHITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter 2 baking sheets and set aside. Combine sugar and butter in a bowl and beat until fluffy. Add the eggs, milk and extracts. Mix until smooth.
• Combine the flours, baking powder and salt in a bowl and mix. Add the dry ingredients to the wet in batches, stirring until combined. Drop soup spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake until the edges begin to brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool.
• To make frosting, place the confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Gradually add some boiling water, stirring until mixture is thick and spreadable. Place half the frosting in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water; add the chocolate. Warm, stirring until chocolate is melted and the frosting is smooth. Remove from heat.
• Brush half the cookie with the chocolate and the other half with the white frosting.

BLACK AND WHITES

Steps:

• Do not preheat oven yet - dough mush chill before baking.
• Melt chocolate chips with butter. (Microwave on high power for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth).
• Mix in sugar.
• Allow to cool.
• Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• Mix in vanilla, baking powder and salt.
• Add flour & mix well.
• Chill dough for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in middle position.
• Roll walnut-sized dough balls with you hands (this is messy, you might want to wear plastic gloves).
• Drop the balls into the bowl of confectioners' sugar & roll them around until they are covered.
• If dough gets too warm, stick it back into the fridge until you can handle it again.
• Place the balls on a cookie sheet (12 to a standard sheet works best).
• Do not flatten - they will flatten as they bake.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
• Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
