These are a specialty cookie where half of the cookie is frosted in chocolate frosting, and the other half is frosted in vanilla frosting. Popular NYC bakery cookie, copycat of Zabar's in NYC I made this for a recent party These are really soft and cakey so careful not to overbake them! Read more !
