The "BLACK & WHITE"

This cookie is a classic that I think everyone should try at least once. A lot of this cookies worth can be based on tradition and ambiance..."where" you eat your first one can make a HUGE difference...so if you get the opportunity to visit NEW YORK CITY, getting a BLACK & WHITE from a local bakery should be on your list of MUST DO's...along with a canolli from Ferraro's, a slice from L&B, Chicken Parm with ziti-Sicilian-Style from Lenny and Paul's in Brooklyn, and good ol' fashion piece of NY Cheesecake, and of course - an everything bagel from just about any corner bagel shop.....UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMM! You won't regret your efforts to seek out any and all of these New York City wonders....But I digress...Let's get back to the COOKIE...That being said...

"LET THE RATING BEGIN!"

My cookie of choice this time will be:

THE "BLACK & WHITE"

This cookie gets:"5 COOKIE KISSES"

Here are the details:

VALUE = 5 COOKIE KISSES ***** - These cookies are usually found at an authentic, good ol' fashion bakery...so the price is competitive...and...the cookie is HUGE! Mine measured a solid 6" in diameter.

PACKAGING = 5 COOKIE KISSES ***** - Coming from a bakery or specialty store...there isn't any unnecessary packaging.

GIVING BACK = 5 COOKIE KISSES***** If you ever watched the show "Seinfeld," you probably remember an episode that featured a "BLACK & WHITE." It was claimed that this cookie was a perfect example for us to look to for race relations. Black and white...different, but in harmony...a balanced sensation bringing out the best in each other. I have to say...if the BLACK & WHITE is able to instill that kind of philosophy and taste so good and the same time...Well, that makes the BLACK & WHITE one AMAZING cookie! :)

TASTE = 5 COOKIE KISSES ***** - My first BLACK & WHITE was from a bakery in Little Italy in New York City. Of course the taste was outstanding! The cookie I just had last night was great too. What does it taste like? Well...soft, sponge cake-like shortbread with a hint of lemon is iced with vanilla and chocolate fondant...so it is crisp. YUMMMMMMM...I'm making myself want one right now!

NOTES: This shortbread makes this cookie the perfect TEA or coffee cookie. The neat 1/2 &
1/2 vanilla and chocolate icing make the simple shortbread EXTRAVAGANT!

COOKIE ON!
