This week’s Baked Sunday Mornings selection is Black and
White Cookies. I had made black and
white cookies one time before; I think it was from a David Lebovitz recipe. My husband remembered that I had made them
before and sounded a little surprised that I was attempting them again. You see, last time the cookies were very
delicious, but I got very frustrated with frosting - it was super-runny and the
colors blobbed together. Very
disappointing. Anyway, this time I was careful
to make sure the frosting did not get too drippy and took the excellent tip in
the book to use a piping bag to make them look nice and neat.
Although the cookies did not turn out quite as perfect as
ones that you see in a bakery (and I totally did not notice the instruction to
frost the flat side of the cookie), they are about a million times more
aesthetically pleasing than my first batch.
And once again, very delicious.
Since it was several years ago, I don’t remember exactly what they
tasted like, but I think this recipe is a bit cakier and I like it! You can find the recipe here and view the
other bakers’ links here.
I also made last week’s Sunrise Key Lime Tarts, then somehow
my Sunday slipped away from me and I didn’t get around to posting them. I have made key lime pie many times (it
happens to be one of Josh’s more requested treats) and thanks to Cook’s
Illustrated, I make a pretty good one. I
was happy to try the Baked version and we loved the pretzel crust – I am
plotting more dessert ideas to make with it.
