Black and White Cookie Recipe

Black and White Bakery Cookie

These Black and White Cookies are my all-time favorite cookie. I remember getting these from the Italian bakery on Long Island when I was younger and they are simply the best!

This version is not as large as the standard black and white cookie but boy are they good!
