Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1/2 pound butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 2 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Frosting

  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate

Instructions

Cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, milk, vanilla, and lemon extract and mix until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, stirring well.
  • Using a soup spoon, drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart on buttered baking sheets.
  • Bake until the edges begin to brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely.

Frosting

  • Put the powdered sugar in a bowl. Stir in enough water to make the mixture thick and spreadable.
  • Transfer half of the frosting to the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Add the chocolate and warm the mixture until the chocolate is melted and the frosting is smooth. Remove from the heat.
  • With a brush, coat half of each cookie with chocolate frosting and the other half with white frosting.

    When I made this recipe it tasted like flour and when baking it doesn’t thin out; therefore, it’s too puffy and biscuit-like…not good. Not the NY black and white.
