These were a lot of fun to make. One suggestion: ice the white side of the cookie first, then use the remaining icing to make the chocolate icing. I didn't estimate correctly when dividing the icing so I ended up making vanilla icing again..and having leftover chocolate icing.

I have made these many times. My family loves these and they cringe when they see me make an extra bag to take to work. I recommend this recipe to anyone who knows what a true Black and White cookie is. Some of the bad reviews I believe are because the cookies were made too thick. Then they do tend to be bit cakey. I plan to do these again for the holidays.

When I made these cookies they turned out very cake like, bland and dry.The frosting tasted like powder sugar. It's not what I remember eating as a kid, I thought they were more of a sugar cookie than a cake. In reading other recipes/reviews I found that others came out like cake as well. I did everything correctly, had to modify icing because it was to runny. My boyfriend is absolutely in love with black/white cookies and the look of disappointment on his face was horrible. All an' all not impressed.

I am completely in love w/ Black and White cookies. Every time my husband and I go out to Too Jays I make him buy me some so I was looking foward to learning how to make them at home. Unfortunately the receipe didn't go as planned. The cookie receipe was fairly easy but it's the icing I had a problem with. The receipe says to take half of the vanilla icing out and add the cocoa powder and the additonal milk. I did this but the icing came out way too thin. It looked like chocolate milk. I ended up just making the vanilla icing and adding the cocoa powder to it. I thought that true Black and White were made w/ dark chocolate, hense the "Black" part, but these cookies looked and tasted more like milk chocolate. I don't think I'll be making Black and Whites w/ this receipe ever again.

This was my first time making black and white cookies and I thought this recipe was fairly simple and they turned out great. I am going to experiment with the chocolate frosting...maybe use dark chocolate next time. No more buying them at Starbucks for me!

They came out ok. The icing was lacking and they aren't what I remembered. They were a little bit dense and bland.

I gave these as in cookie baskets this Christmas, and everyone loved them. They were a lot easier to make than I had anticipated.

Great recipe. I just wanted to tell Susan from Staten Island, I also live in Staten Island, and you can get cake flour in Shoprite or Pathmark. It is usually closer to the pancake mixes in the baking aisle. I hope this helps.

These were much easier to make than I anticipated. The look and taste brought me back to childhood and the Brooklyn bakery where I would indulge from time to time while in my younger days. I made these and shared them with my grandkids while I took a walk down "Memory Lane" ! They will be coming out of my kitchen regularly.
