Whoa, what a dessert! The black and white cookie is, in fact, not a cookie but a flat, thinly frosted cake, like someone has sat on a cupcake. Cookie convenience, cupcake taste. I am hooked.
Unfortunately Kottke shut down comments on this post before I had a chance to slightly correct the statement that B&WCs are called "Amerikaners" in Germany. There is such a cookie in Deutschland, but instead of two frostings it's just one, a honey-vanilla flavor that's out of this world.
The comments sections contains links to several recipes which I shall have to examine. Previous efforts at "roll my own" resulted in nothing because the recipes were so complex as to require an hour to read and a day to prepare.
