Delicious Black and White Cookie Recipe

[@stephanieturner7417]

My dad was a baker, he made these when I was a kid. We called them moon cookies. Thanks for the fond memories with my dad! Thanks for making them!!!

[@xfallenxlostx3254]

I absolutely love this.

I made these cookies for my family today in honor of MLK day. OMG! These cookies taste incredible. Better than any black and white cookie I’ve ever had. John Kanell is my hero!

[@phoenix2.020]

Black and white cookies are my most favorite cookies ever. I'm definitely gonna try this recipe the first chance I get. Thanks John! 😋😋😊

[@Nadiaelsayed]

The best chef ever, i really like how simple you are and natural 😍🌹🌹

[@angelmackenzie6877]

Miss black&whites when I left Da Bronx and moved away 30 years ago. Learned such joyous cookies were unheard of south of the Mason-Dixon line :-( not to mention Entenmann’s. So glad I found you! Plan on making these and maybe sharing with kids over coffee. Thank you so much/love your videos!

I recently made a tiny version (1/4 of the ingredients) of your apple pie recipe for my family and it was gone within minutes. The lattice top always looked so intimidating until you demonstrated the simple alternating method. Your blog is the perfect accompaniment to the videos. Can't wait to try out some more recipes, thank you!! :)

[@alisonneverland]

My dad commuted to the city for work for a long time and every so often he'd bring me home a black and white cookie from Zaro's in Grand Central. These cookies always make me nostalgic. Amazing what food can do.

[@alananair7637]

Black and White Cookies!!!! Went to Manhattan for my honeymoon 2 years ago we fell in love with this cookie!

[@bigjsturtz]

Tried this recipe yesterday, spot on! They came out great. Only problem is now all my friends want me to make them all the time. Better then the local bakery.

[@jallobpz7444]

It's mandatory that your first a bite be half black and half white...Nice to see you follow the rules!

[@denagustafson6070]

My black and whites are in the oven right now and I am SO excited to try them! When I was a little girl, loooong ago, my dad used to buy these cookies and, sometimes, the Linzer Tarts for me from the coffee truck where he picked up coffee every morning before work. He passed when I was a little girl and these are near and dear to my heart! Thanks, John, for reminding me of this lovely and happy time in my life! ❤️ Wishing you and your beautiful family a wonderful holiday season!

Ever since I saw that episode I've always wanted to try one of these lol

One of my favorite Seinfeld episodes.

[@TraumaER]

"The thing about eating the Black and White cookie, Elaine, is you want to get some black and some white in each bite. Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate And yet somehow racial harmony eludes us. If people would only look to the cookie all our problems would be solved!” 😑

My parents, grandmother and aunt all loved these oldschool treats. (And classic really shiny, tough skinned pumpernickel bagels, rye bread (which is rare down South: the land of biscuits, overcooked vegetables and banana pudding). Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@nygirl13]

I made them . They were spectacular! I’m a New Yorker so , you were right on!

[@WINDYJEAN]

I’m from upstate New York. These are my favorite cookies of all time. Not easy to get in So. Cal.

[@monical2417]

You have amazing recipes I’ve tried a few and look forward to more…

[@michaelbradley7595]

You are one of the very best cooks on the internet. Your pure simple methods makes American Test Kitchen look gimmicky and forced. You stick to the real recipes and make them work with perfect technique instead of wierd tricks, odd ingredients and short cuts. Your cooking never looks like a lab experiment. I always get hungry looking at your food.

[@christinearrante2295]

Preppy Chef, I made your Black & White cookies as per my son’s request! I never made them before, I watched the video about 10 times, followed the directions and they came out perfect, my son 💜 them and so did everyone else! ❤ TY 👍🏻

[@4kcu008]

You saying "but don't live in Manhattan" is so funny to me as an Upstate New Yorker!! We call them half moons 😋

[@katvsdaedreamz8628]

The bakery I used to get them at in Rochester used white buttercream and chocolate ganache. So yummy

[@roxxigirl1320]

Yes, half moons made at hemstrought’s. They are the best with a chocolate cookie and the fluffy white buttercream and the fudge chocolate.

[@jessicaharris1608]

I've noticed a distinct difference between what he made, black and whites and half moons. Half moons from Hemstraughts (sorry about the spelling) or their recipe, are IMO the true half moons. I had black and whites once and they had a beautiful smooth glaze but they were sorely disappointing in flavor, perhaps because I'm used to Hemstraughts style half moons. (I'm also from upstate NY, between Albany and Utica.)

[@benjaminpritchard3084]

Your recipe is very similar to our family Christmas Cookie dough, which we have to freeze to roll out. I have also used it to make Black and Whites for a Jewish Deli Bakery. Oh so good. You're spot on.

[@al4005]

Hello John, I’d love to see an Italian cream cake made by you!😊

[@lylletza]

I made a batch of these tonight, and OMG! Delicious! Great recipe! Minor tip, I used a piping bag to apply the icing.. make sure you cut the tiniest piece of the piping bag tip and it makes for easy application.. versus an offset spatula..

[@peanutbutterpacket]

i was just in the hospital two days ago and my mom bought me one to cheer me up. i wanted to recreate them so bad. JOHN IS AN ACTUAL MIND READER BYE

In germany we call these 'americans'(Amerikaner), at least locally. This makes the whole video hilarious in some way

Do you have a video explaining your new kitchen - color and company of cabinets, the gorgeous green oven, counters, etc? Would Ike to see one if you don’t already have one. Thanks for the b/w cookies. Reminded me of a co-worker of mine who had, over 30 years ago, called her favorite neighborhood baker in New York and asked for his B/W cookie recipe which he did. It was for making endless cookies for his bakery. Then she forwarded the recipe to a friend in Portland who cut down the recipe for family (smaller batch) use.. amazing cookies. Can’t wait to try making them! Thank you for your amazing videos and yummy recipes! Biggest fan.

[@PRMorena177]

[@joshuag.4873]

I used to really like these B&W cookies from Trader Joes, and then I tried them from a popular bakery in L.A. (Torrance bakery) where the coating was as crunchy as glass, over a crisp, buttery cookie... Addicting taste and texture, especially after keeping them in the freezer. Now I live up in Washington state and am totally deprived. The TJ's ones no longer suffice... lol

[@andreanichols2357]
