Our New York hols are sadly at an end. This here is a black and white cookie as seen on Seinfeld ten years ago; I had to give it a crack. It’s cakey as opposed to cookie-ish, nice and spongey with deliciously gooey icing. Like someone ran over a lamington, then stripped off the coconut. Sorta. Phwoar 🙂

Is it like a nienish tart (in Australia) but without the cream filling?

Mmm, yum. I love neenish tarts and lamingtons, and now those black and white cookies look the go too.

Nerida – Kinda like a neenish tart, except it’s the size of your head! 🙂
Just a girl – oooh i love Smitten Kitchen! thanks for the link – might have to give em a go 🙂
Oh, I forgot to try one of those! I ate tons of New York Pizza though LOL – holidays suck when they end – damn it.
Yum. You’ve got me thinking of pastries for breakfast…
That pastry is called an “American” in Germany… how befitting…
Hope you had a great time in one of my favourite cities… looking forward to reading about it!
Cheers,

Hi Shauna! I just wanted to say how much I like your blog and your writing. I was on the internet at work, and our internet filter blocked me from reading your blog because it has “pussy” in the title! Too funny.
I must agree with your other commenters…isn’t the black and white cookie a Nienish tart? Who knows. I haven’t eaten either of them, but they look the same. But whatever, a cake is a cake is a cake, and I ain’t complaining if I’m eating one!
Thanks again for the great writing.
Love Carla
The size of your head? That’s disturbing, and you don’t even have a particularly large head or anything…
They look delicious nevertheless.
Oooooh, I’m going to have to read your non-fat blog more often Shauna! That cookie looks DIVINE!
