A cookie with charisma

Black and White cookies are a phenomenon of the Northeast and can usually be bought in most bakeries and/or deli’s (although I have noticed some more-commercial, wrapped versions are now hitting the market). They are just plain old cookies made with flour and sugar and eggs, using buttermilk (instead of whole) which is pretty much a recipe for a basic cake. The frosting is confectioners’ sugar with vanilla and, for the black half, adding cocoa powder. Maybe because they are so simple is why they are so good. Also, having to make a decision about having to choose which side of the cookie to eat first is an added positive feature (somewhat like eating Oreos). They taste good; they are visually pleasing and they are interactive. What can you say besides yuuuuuummmmm?
