Re: Help! Black & White cookies for a baby shower...
black and white cookie recipe
i've tried several different recipes and people rave over these whenever I make them....for similar occasions, i make the cookies smaller than the recipe calls for so you get the 'mini' black and whites....with the icing, she can just add a few drops of blue food coloring to the white icing. delish!

Re: Help! Black & White cookies for a baby shower...
Just in case you don't want to sign up for the Parents website, here is the recipe:
Black & White Cookies
Servings Per Recipe 8 large cookies
Ingredients
Cookies:
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 egg
1/3 cup buttermilk
Black and White Icing:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons plus 4 teaspoons milk
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions
1. Cookies: Heat oven to 350°F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. In medium-size bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, beat together sugar and butter until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in egg until well combined. On low speed, alternately beat in flour mixture and the buttermilk, ending with flour mixture; beat until smooth.
2. Onto prepared sheets, for each cookie, drop 1/4 cup dough, spacing about 3 inches apart.
3. Bake 1 sheet at a time in 350°F oven 13 minutes, until wooden pick inserted in centers tests clean. Remove cookies to rack to cool.
4. Black and White Icing: In medium-size bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and 2 tablespoons plus 1 to 2 teaspoons milk until smooth but thick enough to coat cookie. Remove 1/4 cup icing to small bowl; stir in cocoa powder and remaining 2 teaspoons milk until smooth.
5. Turn cookies flat side up. Spread white icing over one half of flat side of each cookie, and chocolate icing over other half. Let stand at room temperature until set. Store airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days.
