Honestly. I have never made a black and white cookie.

More honesty? I have never EATEN a Black and White cookie. Ok, OK! Don’t congregate into a crazy mob of villagers to chastise me! I promise, I will someday. Really I will! In the meantime, these are MY versions of Black and Whites. Mostly because they are dark and light, half and half, yin and yang type thing. They are heaven in your mouth. These cookies are crispy around the edges, soft and sweet in the centers, the contrast of the dark chocolate cookie’s depth and richness to the espresso cookies subtle bitterness with it’s sweet just balance each other perfectly.

There are actually two recipes but it takes very little time to make both and you can actually make both in one mixing bowl, just make the espresso chocolate chip cookies first. Once they are mixed, put them in a separate bowl and re-use the mixing bowl to make the chocolate white chocolate chip cookies…you don’t even need to wash it!
