Black and White Cookie

[katjenpiz]

I can't find a decent one anymore. It is supposed to be a cakey cookie not cake, it is supposed to have vanilla and chocolate glaze, not frosting. I would love it if someone could give me ideas in the Bronx, or Midtown, but any suggestions will be considered

Junior's in Grand Central is my current favorite.

Just had a great one from Amish Market on the corner of Park Place and West Broadway.

The best I ever had was at College Bakery on Court Street in Brooklyn. Alas, they've been closed several years.

I had one about as good from a vendor at the Greenmarket in Zuccotti Park in the Financial Distirct. But I'm rarely in the area when the greenmarket is on and the last couple of times that I was, I couldn't find the vendor.

Part of what you described is a half moon cookie, which is generally found in upstate NY. I had an argument with someone once about whether they should be called B&Ws or half moons and then I finally saw a half moon and realized the two are different. B&Ws are cakey (white/vanilla) cookies and glazed as you said, and then half moons are more cake-like and can have either a white or chocolate cake base, and frosting. I hope you haven't found too many half moon types in the NYC area...hopefully that type isn't infiltrating down here too much!

Entenmann's...Just finished one

Moishe's (115 2nd Avenue) has never let me down, and if you're in Queens, Parisi Bros. in Astoria makes a great B&W cookie.

Thanks, I get to Astoria pretty often, but haven't tried any bakeries. I used to be able to get good B&W in most bakeries, but not anymore. I can't stand to see them wrapped in plastic wrap in a bakery. Makes me think the whole lot of their products are not baked often.

Moishe's and Xaro's at grand central, their stuff is always FRESH!

Several threads on this. My list order (1) Wm. Greenberg's; (2) Pick-a-bagel; (3) Zabar's (used to be dead last but has improved); (4) Hot and Crusty (when fresh). Moishe's? For a nostalgia trip but insufficient turnover to keep them fresh.

Ditto on Greenberg's.
