Number Of Ingredients 17

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp fine sea or kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large room temperature lightly beaten egg
1/3 cup sour cream, regular. lower fat or fat free will not work for this recipe
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp real lemon extract, this is optional
10 tbsp softened unsalted butter
3 cups sifted powdered sugar
2 tbsp cold water
2 tbsp light corn syrup
4 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, I used Dutch process, you can use half regular and half Dutch in that combo too
1/8 tsp fine sea or kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpat baking mat. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Set aside. Using a hand held mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. This will take about 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the beaten egg, sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon extract if using. Beat until combined. Stop and scrape down sides of bowl if needed. Gradually add in the flour mixture. Using a large serving spoon is how I find to be the easiest way. Mix about 1 minutes. Stop scrape down the sides of bowl and beat again until completely combined. Another 20 seconds. Stop and continue to combine by hand with a rubber spatula. Batter will be very thick. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, lightly mist the cup with cooking or baking spray. Scoop and gently drop batter onto baking sheet. 5 to 6 mounds at a time. Make sure they are spaced. If you can get all 6 on the sheet that would be best. Bake between 15 and 18 minutes or until edges of each cookie are lightly browned. The cookies will stay light with just a hint of color. The tops should spring back lightly when gently touched. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, slide the parchment paper onto the cooling rack for the cookies to cool completely.

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

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.

MINI BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



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!

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!
