Though the cookie&#8217;s origins could be either from the early 1900s in upstate New York (called a half-moon cookie) or from 1902 in Glaser&#8217;s Bake Shop of New York City, it hardly matters now. This vanilla and chocolate iced cookie has reached icon status and is sold around the country, and even across the ocean, where they call the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/german-desserts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/german-desserts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">German dessert<\/a> an Amerikaner.<\/p>\n<p>Before I moved to New York City, black and white cookies were not on my radar. Once I arrived, it was impossible to overlook their abundance as they filled the counters and display cases of every supermarket, bakery and bodega. Blame it on the famous <em>Seinfeld<\/em> episode in which Jerry expounds upon and wonders if the dual-sided cookie is the bridge to societal harmony, but I can&#8217;t look at a black and white cookie without wondering what would happen if we did, in fact, &#8220;look to the cookie&#8221; for answers.

Closer in texture to a mini-cake, black and white cookies are best when fresh, and you need only\u00a0a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/baking-supplies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/baking-supplies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">basic baking supplies<\/a> to whip them up. As for how to eat them, I can&#8217;t promise a black and white cookie recipe will solve anything, but since vanilla and chocolate are an ideal pairing, I suggest finding flavor unity and eating the two sides together.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Black and White Cookies<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dry Ingredients:<\/strong> All-purpose flour gives the cookies structure. Baking powder, baking soda and salt whisked into the flour provide the cookies with lift and balance the dough&#8217;s flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Creamed butter and sugar are the base of this cookie, adding air and keeping it light. If your butter is still cold when you are ready to bake, there are a few ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-soften-butter-quickly\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-soften-butter-quickly\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">soften butter quickly<\/a> so you can get started.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Use granulated sugar in the cookie dough for a neutral, sweet taste and confectioners&#8217; sugar in the icing to create a thick glaze-like topping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong> This recipe calls for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/bake-with-room-temperature-eggs\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/bake-with-room-temperature-eggs\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">room-temperature egg<\/a> to ensure it will blend with the butter for a creamy, not curdled, batter. If you are in a rush, place your egg in a cup of warm water for 5 to 10 minutes to take the chill off.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> Vanilla adds flavor to the cookies and icing. If you often run out of vanilla, try starting a batch of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-vanilla-extract-at-home\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-vanilla-extract-at-home\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade vanilla extract<\/a>. It will take about six weeks to be ready to use, but then you will have a large bottle that lasts a long time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour cream:<\/strong> Besides giving the cookie a subtle tang, sour cream contributes extra moisture, resulting in a cakey texture for the cookie.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dutch-processed cocoa:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll use Dutch-processed cocoa to make the &#8220;black&#8221; side of the icing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/dutch-process-cocoa\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/dutch-process-cocoa\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dutch-processed cocoa<\/a> is darker than regular cocoa powder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whole milk:<\/strong> Milk helps dissolve the confectioners&#8217; sugar to form a thick icing. Since it&#8217;s only 1 tablespoon of milk, you could use 2% instead of whole.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Light corn syrup:<\/strong> A small amount of light corn syrup in the icing adds elasticity, allowing the icing to spread evenly and smoothly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the cookie dough<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2119686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Black-and-White-Cookies-TOHVS25_278553_MF_02_04_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"overhead shot of a pair of hands holding a blue bowl filled with flour or dry baking ingredients, a whisk with a wooden handle is inside the bowl, partially submerged in the powder; the background is a textured grey surface\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.

You don&#8217;t have to eat them all the day they are baked (unless you want to\u2014no judgment), but you should eat them within two to three days for the freshest taste and texture.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze black and white cookies?<\/h3>\n<p>When considering if or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-freeze-cookies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-freeze-cookies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to freeze cookies<\/a>, it&#8217;s important to remember that not all cookies do well in the freezer. Luckily, you can freeze black and white cookies, yet it&#8217;s best to freeze them baked but not iced due to the wet, batter-like texture of the dough. Arrange baked and cooled cookies in an airtight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/products-to-help-freeze-food\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/products-to-help-freeze-food\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">freezer-proof container<\/a> with a piece of parchment between layers of cookies so they don&#8217;t stick together. Thaw them at room temperature and ice them when ready to serve.<\/p>\n<h2>Black and White Cookie Tips<\/h2>\n<h3>Why are my cookies spreading in the oven?<\/h3>\n<p>Black and white cookies should spread into large rounds with lightly domed centers, but they should not spread so much that they resemble a thin, flat crepe or they will be impossible to handle. Too little flour or too much sour cream can make the cookie dough runny, so it&#8217;s important to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-measure-ingredients\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-measure-ingredients\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">measure ingredients correctly<\/a> and carefully using the right tools. Use a dry measuring cup for the flour, the sour cream and the sugar for accurate amounts.<\/p>\n<h3>Why are my black and white cookies dry?<\/h3>\n<p>Cakey cookies like these can easily become dry if overbaked. To prevent this, use an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/oven-thermometer-secret-to-perfect-bakes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/oven-thermometer-secret-to-perfect-bakes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">oven thermometer<\/a> to gauge the actual oven temperature since many run hotter or colder than what they are set to. Also, use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/kitchen-timers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/kitchen-timers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cute kitchen timer<\/a> during baking so you don&#8217;t forget about the cookies in the oven. Always remember to use time only as a guide and defer to the visual cues of doneness to know when to remove the cookies from the oven.<\/p>\n<h3>Which side of the cookie should I ice?<\/h3>\n<p>You can ice either side of the cookie, but if your cookies have more than a gently rounded top, you may find it easier to flip them over and ice the bottom, flat side of the cookie.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best way to get a clean icing line on your black and white cookie?<\/h3>\n<p>Part of the joy of a black and white cookie is the beautiful contrast between the vanilla and chocolate halves of the icing, but to get the proper effect, you have to apply the icing evenly. First, top all the cookies with one icing, which gives it a few minutes to start setting, and then add the second icing, using a tool with an edge, like the side of an offset spatula (one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/kitchen-gadgets-pro-cooks-use-at-home\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/kitchen-gadgets-pro-cooks-use-at-home\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best kitchen gadgets<\/a>), to create a sharp line between the flavors.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with black and white cookies?<\/h3>\n<p>To channel the New York City bakery experience, brew a piping hot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/tricks-for-making-perfect-coffee-youll-wish-you-knew\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/tricks-for-making-perfect-coffee-youll-wish-you-knew\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cup of good coffee<\/a> to serve with your cookies.
