Black White And Green Cookies Recipes

BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350˚ F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
• Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla, beating well after each addition.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined. Beat in the sour cream, then beat in the remaining flour mixture.
• Using a large ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measure, scoop mounds of dough and place 3 inches apart on the baking sheets (6 cookies per pan). Bake, rotating and switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and the bottoms and edges are just starting to brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then remove the cookies to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the icing: Sift the confectioners' sugar into a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons milk, the corn syrup and vanilla and whisk until smooth and very thick but still spreadable. Remove half of the icing (about 1/2 cup) to a separate bowl and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth, thinning with up to 1 tablespoon milk, if needed.
• Turn the cookies flat-side up. Using a small offset spatula, spread the white icing on half of each cookie, making a straight, clean line in the center of the cookie. Return the cookies to the rack, and let sit, preferably in a cool place, until the icing is firm with a matte finish, at least 30 minutes. Spread the chocolate icing on the other half of the cookies. Let the icing set at room temperature, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

DUFF'S BLACK AND WHITE COOKIE

Steps:

• Add dry yeast to warm or room-temperature milk, let stand for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cream the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy.
• Slowly add and combine the yeast mixture, and the extracts.
• In a separate bowl whisk together the cake flour, all-purpose flour and salt and gradually add them to your mixture. Caution: Do not over mix, but make sure to keep your mixture homogenous.
• Prepare a cookie sheet with pan spray and drop spoonfuls of dough 3 to 4 inches apart. Bake until the edges begin to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Let cool to room temperature before decorating.
• Place chocolate into 2 separate bowls, 1 for dark and 1 for white. Slowly boil the cream in 2 separate pots. Pour 1 pot cream over the dark and 1 pot over the white and let chocolate melt. Whisk each until smooth.
• To decorate: While the ganache is slightly warm, have fun with it. Maybe some of it will even end up on the cookies!
• Yield: 1 pint each

BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer for 3 minutes. Add eggs and beat for 30 seconds more. Add lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon extract. Mix together. Add flour mixture and milk gradually in equal 1/3 proportions, mixing batter well after each addition until fully incorporated.
• Spoon cookie batter out 1/4-cup portions onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges just begin to turn golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
• While cookies cool, melt butter for vanilla icing in a double boiler over medium heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Add water gradually until vanilla icing comes together. Heat over the double boiler until icing falls off the back of a spoon in thick ribbons, 2 to 4 minutes. Set heat to low.
• Frost 1/2 of the golden brown underside of each cooled cookie with vanilla icing using a rubber spatula. Allow excess to dribble back into the double boiler. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set the double boiler back to medium heat and add confectioners' sugar, semisweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, corn syrup, butter, vanilla extract, and food coloring to the remaining vanilla icing. Mix well, adding water until icing is combined. Heat until icing falls off of the back of a spoon in thick ribbons, 2 to 4 minutes. Set heat to low.
• Frost the other 1/2 of the cooled cookies using a rubber spatula in the same manner as before. Let cookies cool until icing sets, 1 to 2 hours. Serve.

BLACK, WHITE AND GREEN COOKIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Cream the butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer. Scrape the bowl and mix in the eggs. Scrape the bowl again and add the sour cream, vanilla and lemon zest. Mix to combine, then add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined-do not overmix.
• Using a 3-ounce ice cream scoop, scoop the batter for 6 cookies onto each prepared baking sheet. They will spread, so make sure there is plenty of room around each scoop. Bake, rotating the baking sheets once during baking so they bake evenly, until the edges of the cookies just start to brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Let the cookies cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. If you don't cool on a rack the cookies can steam themselves and get gummy.
• For the icing: Whisk together the milk, corn syrup, vanilla and salt in a liquid measuring cup. Add the powdered sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer). Add the milk mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to high and whip until fluffy and smooth. Stir in the cardamom and lemon zest.
• Transfer 3/4 cup of the icing to a small bowl and whisk in the cocoa powder until well combined. Divide the remaining icing evenly between 2 more small bowls; add the pistachio paste to one of the bowls and whisk well to combine.
• To decorate: Spread the pistachio icing on half of the flat side of each cookie. Refrigerate the cookies for 5 minutes, then spread the other half of each cookie with the white cardamom icing. Drizzle the chocolate icing over the tops. Sprinkle with the ground pistachios, if desired.
• Let the icing set for 5 minutes in the fridge and enjoy!
