    I wet my hands to flatten the cookie dough into perfect rounds...likely much easier than using a spoon. Like other reviews, I also had twice as much ganache as needed to ice the cookies. Save yourself some $$$ and make a half recipe of frosting. I also agree the cookies aren't very "tender" as mentioned in the video, and I gently mixed by hand.

    These cookies do not come out like the real NY black & white cookies / Half Moon cookies that NYers are used to. This recipe is way too difficult for the blah outcome you get. Substitute 4 eggs for the yeast in this recipe and make regular cake frosting, not grenache, for these cookies, you'll have some real tasty B&Ws!

    I try a lot of black & white cookie recipes and have not come across any that I liked as well as this one. I took the time to cream the butter and sugar until is was very light and fluffy. I flavored the dough with some good vanilla and a quarter teaspoon of butter flavoring left over from our Harry Potter Butter Beer fun. Then I used a wet spoon back to flatten and shape the cookies. I have a couple of nice silpat baking sheets so I didn't have to mess with spraying the cookie sheet. I set the timer for 20 minutes but they were golden and crunchy at 17 minutes so I set my next batch for 10 minutes which gave me a very nice and soft cookie. I used a confectioners sugar/butter/vanilla icing and sprinkled with red and green crystals for the holidays. I really like the idea of using yeast instead of egg and the flavor is wonderful! These are my new favorites! Thanks Duff!

    You must have to be a wizard to make these. I consider myself an excellent cook but THIS. I did everything exactly as I was suppose to and watched the video. Had no difficulty making them but- Total failure. trew them out which is too bad because I wanted a black and white so badly. They tasted like bread dough and looked even worse. Never flattened down. Won't do that again. Sorry but true.

    They are nothing like the real black and white cookie. There is WAY too much ganache (I'm talking enough to make 10 batches and the white icing is just plain wrong.

    These were very good. They are not as cakey as the ones from the bakery but the cookie was tasty. Watching the video really helped. My white ganache was runny, too, so I added some confectioners sugar and it became thicker; whiter, too. I'll make them again.

    I know the written recipe is a little off, but the cookies are not difficult to make. Just WATCH THE VIDEO and then do what he does. Mine came out very good- I am keeping this recipe for sure.
    As others said: the ganache makes more that you need. I just did the chocolate and loved it. To make them look better, I melted white chocolate and used it to decorate the cookie (I wrote people's names on them. Just try it... i'm glad I did!
