BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened butter and the granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until fluffy; scrape side of bowl. Beat in egg, vanilla and lemon extract just until smooth. Beat in buttermilk. On low speed, gradually beat flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended. Drop dough by level 1/4 cupfuls on large ungreased cookie sheets 3 inches apart.
• Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In 2-quart saucepan, melt 1/3 cup butter over low heat; remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar. Stir in hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until icing is smooth and has the consistency of thick syrup.
• Place waxed paper or cooking parchment paper under cooling racks. Spread a generous teaspoon of vanilla icing on half of each cookie. To remaining icing, stir in cocoa until blended. Stir in hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until icing is smooth and has the consistency of thick syrup. Spread a generous teaspoon of chocolate icing over remaining uncovered half of each cookie. Let stand about 3 hours or until set. Store covered in airtight container with waxed paper between layers.

BLACK-AND-WHITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed or parchment paper. In a mixer, cream the butter. Add the granulated sugar and beat until fluffy. Add the eggs, milk, and extracts and mix to combine. In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, and salt and mix well. Add the dry ingredients to the sugar-egg mixture and mix to blend. Using an ice-cream scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared pans. With a spatula, press and spread each cookie into a circle about 5 inches in diameter and about 3/8-inch thickness. Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden. Let cool on wire racks.
• Icing: In a medium bowl, stir the sugar, milk, and vanilla together until it forms a smooth icing. Transfer half of the icing to another bowl and stir in the cocoa powder and milk until smooth.
• When cool, turn cookies over, so the flat side faces up. Spread white icing on half of each flat surface, then spread the other half with chocolate icing. Let set at room temperature for 30 minutes.

BLACK AND WHITES (DELI! DELI! DELI!)

Steps:

• The Cookies: Set 2 racks in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together for 15 seconds until smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until each is incorporated. Add the vanilla and lemon extracts and continue beating until fluffy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on its slowest setting, gradually beat in 1/2 of the flour mixture. Beat in the milk and then the remaining flour mixture. On nonstick or parchment-lined cookie sheets, drop 1/2 cup mounds of dough at 4-inch intervals. Bake the cookies for about 11 minutes, turning once for even baking, until the cookies are lightly tanned. Set the cookie sheets on a rack to cool. The Frosting: Fit a heavy-bottomed saucepan with a candy thermometer. Over high heat, cook the water, corn syrup, sugar and cream of tartar until it registers 240 degrees (soft ball). Off heat, vigorously whisk in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and hot water until creamy looking. Quickly spread half of the icing on 1/2 of each cookie. Whisk the cocoa and hot coffee into the remaining icing. Spread it on the other halves of the cookies. Let set for 15 minutes.
