Another Favor Idea

I had another favor or dessert idea that will play off my 'black and white' theme nicely.

What if I get Black & White Cookies...And put frosting "H"s on them?!

Of course they have to be the good cookies I am used to from Long Island (my home!) or New York City. None of this Half Moon crap that they make up here in Central NY. :-P

"There is some confusion as to the origin of the black-and-white cookie and the sometimes synonymous name Half-Moon. The name Half-Moon is common in Upstate New York and New England. In New York City, however, one will find only Black and Whites. However, while the two names are often used interchangeably, there may actually be considerable differences between the two, most notably in the textures of the base and the icing.

Half-Moons originated in Utica, New York at the famous Hemstrought's Bakery in the early part of the 20th century. Half-Moons most often come with a chocolate cake base, dark fudge icing on one side and sugary white frosting for the "half moon" side.

Black and Whites have a drier, cookie-like base and fondant frosting."

So in conclusion, Half Moons are more cakey with regular cake type frosting on them...And Black & Whites have harder frosting and are way more delicious! :)

That is a Black & White (Sooooo good!)

This is a Half Moon (Not terrible, but not nearly as good!)

So yeah, just another cute idea for my black/white/and subtle pink idea. :)
