Serving: 12 | Pre Time: 25 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 cups all‑purpose flour

– ½ teaspoon baking powder
– ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
– 2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
– 3 tablespoons whole milk, divided
– 2 tablespoons Dutch‑process cocoa powder

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, cream the clarified butter and granulated sugar on medium‑high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
3. Tip: Scrape the bowl halfway through to ensure even creaming.
4. With the mixer on low, add the lightly beaten eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all‑purpose flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt.
7. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the whole‑fat buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
8. Tip: Do not overmix—stop as soon as no flour streaks remain to keep the cookies tender.
9. Using a ¼‑cup measure, portion the dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them 3 inches apart.
10. Bake for 12–15 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway, until the edges are golden and the centers spring back lightly to the touch.
11. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely, about 1 hour.
12. For the icing, whisk 1 cup confectioners’ sugar with 2 tablespoons whole milk and the light corn syrup until smooth and glossy.
13. Spread the white icing evenly over half of each cookie’s flat side, using a small offset spatula.
14. Tip: Let the white icing set for 10 minutes before adding the chocolate to prevent bleeding.

Buttery and cake‑like with a delicate crumb, these cookies offer a subtle vanilla base crowned by two distinct icings—creamy vanilla and rich, dark chocolate.

4. With the mixer on low, add the lightly beaten pasture-raised egg, fresh lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and pure vanilla extract, mixing just until incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a cohesive dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
6. Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are just set and the bottoms are lightly golden. Tip: Rotate the sheets halfway through for even baking.
8. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely, about 30 minutes.
9. For the white glaze, whisk together 1 cup of the sifted confectioners’ sugar and 1 ½ tablespoons of the whole milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
10. For the black glaze, whisk the remaining 1 cup of sifted confectioners’ sugar, the remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of whole milk, and the sifted Dutch-process cocoa powder in another bowl until fully combined and glossy. Tip: Sift the cocoa to prevent lumps in the glaze.
11. Dip the top of each cooled cookie halfway into the white glaze, allowing the excess to drip off, then place it back on the rack.
12. Immediately dip the other half into the black glaze, creating a sharp contrast. Tip: Work quickly before the first glaze sets to achieve clean lines.
13. Let the glazed cookies set at room temperature for 1 hour until firm.
Just baked, these cookies offer a crisp edge that gives way to a soft, lemony center, with the dual glazes providing a sweet counterpoint to the citrus zing. Serve them stacked on a vintage plate for a dramatic dessert table centerpiece, or crumble over vanilla ice cream for an instant upgrade.
Black and White Mint Cookies
Viral-worthy and visually stunning, these Black and White Mint Cookies deliver a sophisticated flavor punch. They combine a crisp, buttery base with a cool, creamy mint layer for a textural masterpiece. Perfect for holiday gifting or a chic dessert platter.
Serving: 24 cookies | Pre Time: 25 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted European-style butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 8 oz high-quality white chocolate, finely chopped
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp pure peppermint extract
- 4 oz high-quality dark chocolate (70% cacao), finely chopped
- 1 tsp refined coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your conventional oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the softened unsalted European-style butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until pale and fluffy. Tip: Ensure butter is at cool room temperature for optimal aeration.
- Add the lightly beaten pasture-raised egg and pure vanilla extract to the butter mixture; mix on medium speed for 1 minute until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour and fine sea salt.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a cohesive dough forms and no dry streaks remain.
- Portion the dough using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, rolling each portion into a smooth ball, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie edges are set and display a light golden hue. Tip: Rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking for even color.
- Transfer the baking sheets to a wire rack and allow the cookies to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Create the mint filling by combining the finely chopped white chocolate and heavy whipping cream in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler).
- Stir the mixture constantly with a silicone spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is smooth, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the pure peppermint extract until fully combined.
- Allow the mint ganache to cool and thicken slightly at room temperature for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spread or pipe approximately 1 teaspoon of the mint ganache onto the flat side of each completely cooled cookie. Tip: Let the ganache set for 5 minutes before adding the dark chocolate coating for a clean layer.
- Prepare the dark chocolate coating by combining the finely chopped dark chocolate and refined coconut oil in a clean heatproof bowl over the double boiler.
- Stir the dark chocolate mixture constantly until completely melted and glossy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Dip or drizzle the mint-topped side of each cookie into the melted dark chocolate, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.
- Place the dipped cookies back on the parchment-lined rack and allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, about 1 hour.
Keep these elegant cookies stored in an airtight container at cool room temperature. The final texture offers a satisfying snap from the dark chocolate shell, giving way to a cool, creamy mint center and a crisp, buttery base. For a dramatic presentation, arrange them on a slate platter with fresh mint sprigs and dust lightly with edible gold luster dust.
