Black and White Cookie Giveaway
The Black and White Cookie Company has kindly agreed to do a giveaway. Black and White cookies are famous in New York City when I was last there I had a few he he, they are so good, like a cookie but a little like a cake, with one half coated in chocolate and one half with white icing. They are perfect with a good cup of coffee and great to share. I love this company as its started by a real Entrepreneur. He saw the gap in the market to ship this tasty cookie around the country and share one of NYC's historical cookies.
Heres a little about the company, all you have to do is leave a comment (US Residents only, sorry) and I will pick a winner at random to receive a pack of 12 cookies to share with your loved ones. I know I am a dietitian but I honestly believe a small cookie once in while can fit into a balanced meal plan!
I will announce the winner on friday.
About Us
The Black and White Cookie Company was conceptualized by Joshua Auerbach, a long time fan of the Black and White Cookie. Joshua was struck by the conspicuous absence of the treat outside of New York City. In February of 2001, he registered blackandwhitecookies.com. Proof of concept was rapid as email after email arrived from ex-New Yorkers, tourists, and others eager to purchase the cookies.
Excited to meet the increasing requests for authentic New York Black & White’s, Joshua sought advice from a family friend, a German baker who owned several bakeries in New York City at the time of the origin of Black & White Cookies. The baker gave Joshua a great recipe to start with.
The Cookie
Joshua worked diligently for over 3 years to refine the recipe, adding a tasty touch to a timeless classic. He took the recipe and made it even better; crisp around the edges, soft in the middle with that perfect hint of lemon. Our Black and Whites are truly the best Black and White Cookies on earth!

Has anyone ever had one of these?
I've never had a black and white cookie...I bet they are really good.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen those before but they look really good.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to find a GOOD black and white cookie in LA. Most seem to think it's just a sugar cookie coated 1/2 in chocolate icing and half in white icing -ick
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the giveaway...that's a nice one!
Oh wow, this is so fun! I love black and white cookies but they are nearly impossible to find around where I live.
ReplyDeleteNever heard before this black n white cookies!!!anyway thanks for the review
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Black and White cookie, and I live in New York!!! Rebecca, you know everyone!
ReplyDeletethis makes me miss new york. whenever i visit my family there i go to the same little mom and pop bakery and the same adorable little old lady (and her children) sell me the biggest black and white cookie. i'm talking almost the size of a plate. it feeds my whole family.
ReplyDeletei would lovelovelove a good black and white.
Oooo...count me in, Rebecca. Those cookies look marvelous. I agree with you...a treat now an then is okay!
ReplyDeleteFondly, Carrie
Boy am I glad to hear you say as a dietitian you are OK with a small cookie on occasion. I agree, but I find I have some students that feel this is completely unacceptable. I think they are misguided by media and health food craze and still have a lot to learn about the science behind it and the human body. I do not really know of any dietitian that says you can never have a cookie.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have had these. I am Jewish and these are popular in Jewish deli's, hence they are all over NYC. I am entering...please...please...please, I have a US address where my mommy lives and I use this.
I've never heard of these, but they look like sweet treats!!
ReplyDeleteI love these cake-y cookies! Although I've had them IN New York on perhaps one or two occasions, they were familiar enough in DC and NC when we lived there to be relatively available in coffeeshops and bakeries. How I miss them!
ReplyDeleteThese look so good!
ReplyDeleteOooo...I want a cookie, I want a cookie!!!! :-D
ReplyDeleteNever had black and white cookie before, I like the colour. Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteNever heard abt this cookie before but would love to try it..
ReplyDeleteMmmm these look so good! Shame I dont live in the US :(
ReplyDeleteI had some really delicious ones on my last trip to New York but it has been 2 1/2 years and you have me craving them, so I am crossing my fingers that I win! ;-)
ReplyDeleteNot tried one before. I wish I could win some...
ReplyDeleteThis company really sounds like they care and know what they are doing. Love that they are crispy on the edge and cakey in the middle. Great find!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of them but never have tried one. I would love to win some famous ones! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Rebecca!
Love that video! Never seen anyone use a blow torch on a KA before LOL!

ReplyDeleteWhat fun! The cookies look so elegant. I will have to figure out an outfit to wear if I win the cookies. -Tien
ReplyDeleteI grew up on those - once a week. It was such a pleasure to take my kids to a bakery whenever we visited NYC and order one for them. Grand memories!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of these before (and I am Jewish)! They look delicious. I love the description of "tender" cookie. I can almost taste that butter and chocolate ganache as I type! Yummy!
