I grew up on Long Island and my sister and I would stop at the bakery on our walk home from school and pick up black and white cookies, napoleons and eclairs (not all in one day!!). Sensory memories.........northern California, where I now live, doesn't have good "delis" or bagels, either. I made mini black and white cookies one year for a christmas cookie exchange. They were very good, but I will try yours, too. However, my memories of black and white cookies is that the icing goes on the flat side of the cookie, not the rounded side. The icing was so smooth; it looked similar to a poured fondant type of icing. Love your blog. I know that Baltimore's Berger cookies (very similar, but with all chocolate icing) are frosted on the flat side; but the Black and White's I've had have been frosted on the round site. Here's to diversity! PJH
