Black And White Cookies

2 Cps Granulated Sugar
1 Cp Unsalted Butter
4 Lg Eggs
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
5 Cps Cake Flour
11/2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Cp Milk


- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 baking sheets.
- Mix sugar and butter until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine and mix flour, baking powder and salt. Add half of flour mixture to the wet ingredients above. Stir lightly. Add milk and stir lightly again. Add remaining flour mixture. Combine just until mixed; DO NOT over-mix. Using a soup spoon, drop mixture on cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Bake 15 minutes, just until edges are brown. Allow to cool before icing.

For White Glaze:
3 Cps Sifted Confectioners Sugar
3/4 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 Cp Milk

For Black Glaze:
3 Cps Confectioners Sugar
3/4 Tsp Vanilla Extract
6 Tbs Unsweetened Sifted Cocoa Powder
1/2 Cp Milk

- For white glaze, combine confectioners sugar, vanilla and milk and mix until smooth. If mixture is too thick add more milk 1 Tsp at a time until the glaze is just spreadable.
- For black glaze, follow the above instructions, this time including 6 Tbs of unsweetened sifted cocoa powder and increasing the milk to 1/2 Cp.
- To frost cookies use a knife and frost the vanilla side first, and frosting the chocolate sides allow cookies to dry until the frosting sets.

  1. Artie,

    These look delicious. Your grandmother looks frightening in that photo. Despite this fact, I would still really like some of these cookies. Therefore, I insist that you Fedex me yourself, and a batch of them --If there is room in the box. Remember to poke holes in one side.

    Thank you,
    Mort
