Black and White Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups cake flour
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
Vanilla Icing:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp. hot water
- 1 tbsp. corn syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Chocolate Icing:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup melted chocolate (I used semi-sweet chips)
- 2 tbsp. hot water
- 1 tbsp. corn syrup
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well before each addition. Mix in the vanilla and milk until combined.
Turn the stand mixer on low and slowly add in the flours and baking powder until a batter forms. It will be thin, much like a cake batter.
Spoon the batter using a 1/2 cup measuring cup onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silpat liner. Place the cookies a generous 2 inches apart from each other. Bake for 12 minutes until firm and set, but not browned.
Allow cookies to cool completely on the sheet before removing them to be iced.
To make the vanilla icing, combine all of the ingredients and whisk until smooth. Using a knife or frosting tool, draw a barrier down the center and spread evenly over half of the cookie. Allow to dry for at least 5 minutes before icing the chocolate side.
To complete the icing, combine the ingredients for the chocolate icing and whisk until smooth. Carefully, using a knife or frosting tool, ice the chocolate on the other half of the cookies. Allow to dry for 5-10 minutes before serving.
