JUNIOR'S BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• For the Cookies : Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 2 baking sheets and line with parchment paper. Sift both the flours, the baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl. Then, sift the mixture again into another medium bowl. In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light yellow and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one. Beat in the extracts. Sift about one-third of the flour mixture over the batter and, using a wooden spoon, stir in, then add about one-third of the cream and stir until mixed. Repeat until all the flour and cream is mixed in well. Using a 1⁄4-cup ice cream scoop or 1/4 measuring cup scoop about 1⁄4 cup batter onto the prepared baking sheets for each cookie. Spread out with a small metal spatula into a 3-inch circle. Space the cookies about 3 inches apart to bake. Bake just until the edges begin to turn light golden and the tops are puffed and spring back when touched, 12 to 13 minutes. The cookies should be only light golden on the bottom, not golden brown. A pick inserted into the center should come out clean. (Do not overbake!) Let the baked cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer, upside down (bottom side up), to wire racks and cool completely. For the Frosting: Sift confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Stir in the corn syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and 1⁄2 cup hot water until smooth. Add more hot water, if needed, a little at a time, until the frosting is spreadable. Transfer 11⁄4 cups frosting to another bowl; stir in the melted chocolate and the 3 tablespoons hot water. Cover the frostings with a damp paper towel to keep them fresh and spreadable as you work; if the frostings stiffen too much, stir in a few more drops of hot water. Using a small metal spatula,, spread white frosting over the entire flat bottom side of each cookie. When the frosting feels set, frost half of each cookie a second time, this time with chocolate frosting, layering it on top of the white and making the center line as straight as possible. Let the icing dry until it is no longer soft to the touch, at least 2 hours, and store the cookies, between sheets of parchment or waxed paper, in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Do not refrigerate or freeze these cookies.

BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES

Steps:

• Place oven racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Preheat oven to 350°F Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or Silpats.
• Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.
• In a large bowl (or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment), beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4-6 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla and lemon. Stop and scrape down bowl and beaters as needed.
• Reduce speed to low and add 1/3 of dry ingredients. When incorporated, add 1/2 of the milk. Add half the remaining dry ingredients, then the rest of the milk, then the last of the dry ingredients, pausing after each addition until it is incorporated.
• Scoop 1/4-cup mounds of batter onto prepared sheets, spaced 2" apart (you should get about 6 on each sheet). Use a wet finger or the back of a wet spoon to smooth out the tops. Bake until edges are just turning light golden brown, about 15 minute At about 7 minutes, rotate each sheet 180° and swap racks.
• Let cookies cool on racks 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks until completely cool, at least 1 hour. Let sheets cool and replace parchment before preparing the next batch of cookies.
• When all the cookies are done and cooled, prepare the icings. Bring the corn syrup and water to a boil over medium-high heat. Off heat, whisk in confectioner's sugar and vanilla until smooth. Remove half to a separate bowl; whisk melted chocolate and water into one bowl (add water as needed to achieve a spreadable consistency).
• Place a wire rack over newspaper. Spread 2 tbsp of one icing (you may start with either one) on half of the flat side of each cookie. Let stand on rack until the icing is just set, about 15 minutes. Spread 2 tbsp of the other icing on the other half of each cookie (you can overlap them slightly), then let stand on the rack until icings are fully set, about 60 minutes.

BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350˚ F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
• Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla, beating well after each addition.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined. Beat in the sour cream, then beat in the remaining flour mixture.
• Using a large ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measure, scoop mounds of dough and place 3 inches apart on the baking sheets (6 cookies per pan). Bake, rotating and switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and the bottoms and edges are just starting to brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then remove the cookies to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the icing: Sift the confectioners' sugar into a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons milk, the corn syrup and vanilla and whisk until smooth and very thick but still spreadable. Remove half of the icing (about 1/2 cup) to a separate bowl and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth, thinning with up to 1 tablespoon milk, if needed.
• Turn the cookies flat-side up. Using a small offset spatula, spread the white icing on half of each cookie, making a straight, clean line in the center of the cookie. Return the cookies to the rack, and let sit, preferably in a cool place, until the icing is firm with a matte finish, at least 30 minutes. Spread the chocolate icing on the other half of the cookies. Let the icing set at room temperature, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
