    I am afraid I agree with these reviews. I too thought since it was Paula Deen, the recipe would be fabulous. The worst part is the frosting, I will do that in a different way after this. Just powdered sugar and water, not good. And the chocolate side is not dark as it should be. Is there such a thing as a black food coloring? It was an awful waste of money, all the ingredients down the disposal afterwards. I admit, I did not realize that Black and White cookies should authentically be cake-like, and these are cake-like. I thought they were more like a shortbread cut-out cookie. But I will not make these again. I am a good baker, and I just didn't like these. Wonder what a New Yorker thinks of them? Jerry Seinfeld, where are you?

    This was the absolute worst cookie I've ever made in my adult baking life!!! I should have read the review first but thought "Hey its Paula Dean" its got to be good. Not even close!! This cookies turned out like a biscuit I didn't even frost them all because I was so fed up with it. The icing was awful! Never will I just add water to confection sugar. That is the worst taste in the world. Word to the wise....SKIP THIS RECIPE

    tasty maybe,however we never got as far as to frost them. I was so discouraged. They looked like lumpy biscuits. they never flatted down. I thought the dough was too gooey but proceeded anyway. I was certain I had messed up that I made a second batch with same results. All zillion cookies in garbage. what a waste. Sorry but true

    These spread so thin. I always do a test cookie especially when trying a new recipe. I added an extra 1-1/2 cups of flour. I'm not even to tasting them yet and I won't make them again! :0(

    The cookie recipe is very similar to Martha Stewat's recipe it is just missing corn syrup in the frosting and lemon extract in the cookie batter. Paula probably used salted butter, thats why she did not add salt to the cookie batter. Just use Martha Stwrts recipe. LOL

    These might be good but salt is not included in the ingredients. I think that is why they taste so bad.

    These are Very Much like ones purchased. Those had a Chocolate Batter and added 'clear' Karo syrup in frosting to make them shiny. This is terrific regardless. Perfect for Two,just cut recipe in half. Make all the Icing.Put on other Sweets!So delishish, Big Cookies to break in centre and 'dunk' if you please!

    I have read several comments and its amazing how quick people are to blame the recipe. I found these cookies easy to make and a new favorite request among friends.

    This cookie is getting bad reviews and I don't know why. I tried it for the first time and took it to a retirement party. It was a hit. The star of all the cookies because it's so pretty. It's a simple cookie something that would be excellent with coffee. Suggestion: If the frosting starts to harden up on you before you can finish frosting, simply microwave it for 10-15 seconds. Thank you Paula have been looking for a good black and white cookie recipe for years. :
