Black and White cookies take me back to my time in NY, arguably some of the happiest years ever spent. Countless times I’d pick up a giant example of this scrumcious dessert from too many bakeries in each and every borough to list off here (not to mention street vendors). They are decadent – and they are big. Whatever sweet craving you’ve got – these babies will satisfy. For some reason in New York they are an institution, a must-have. Or as Jerry Seinfeld said in his is to get some black and some white in each bite. “Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate,” explaining the art form in episode 74 of Seinfeld.
I noticed in California, most of people never even heard of them. The black and white cookie is, in fact, not a cookie but a flat, thinly frosted cake, like someone has sat on a cupcake. Cookie convenience, cupcake taste. You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy them.
My favorite ones were from William Greenberg Jr. Desserts at UES. They were like butta!
I can order a dozen for $45 + shipping of course. Do not care. Im going to order them and give one to each of my friends and then they can stop laughing at my B&W cravings!
