B&W cookies sounds yummy, I do like the costco ones...I am sure they do not compare though....

DH works in NY, so maybe I'll tell him to get me some!

Enjoy your little piece of heaven!

 

[ughubug]

Our costco doesn't have B&W's must be a regional thing

 

[Ginger428]

Our Costco does not have them & I'm IN NYC!....

 

[ughubug]

Well Okay then...Maybe only Jersey gets them to keep them out HeHe, J/K They are DELIGHTful!

I am in Reno, NV. Last trip to Vegas I found one that was EXCELLENT, no doubt the pastry chef at Green Valley Ranch Resort knew what was up

OK, for us small-town girls; what is a black & white cookie?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A "Half-Moon" cookie is a dessert iced on one half with vanilla fondant, and on the other half by dark chocolate fondant. The base is comprised of a soft, sponge cake-like shortbread with a hint of lemon.

The black and white cookie is often seen as a peculiarly "New York" snack, cemented by its appearance in the Seinfeld episode "The Dinner Party", in which Jerry Seinfeld bases his philosophy of race relations on the cookie, saying "look to the cookie."

The black and white cookie also goes by the name half-moon cake in Central New York and in New England. It is believed that Hemstrought's Bakery in Utica, New York was the first worldwide to create this dessert.

Its like cake and cookie and fudgey and vanilla-ey goodness

I grew up in New Jersey and love black and white cookies. This past summer we had a lay over at Newark on our way home to England, and I found a bakery that had them. I bought several and they stood up pretty well till the next day shoved into my carry on. They are so yummy, now I am craving one!

 

[KellyTheChef]

Mmmmm...all this talk about cookies!
I have seen these cookies on the food network, but never had the opportunity to taste one!
I wanna go to New York!
Maybe that can be a trip destination next year with PC...NYC and a tour of a bunch of cool "foodie" places with to die for food! Black and Whites must be on the list! LOL
