Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
For the Frosting
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. To make the frosting, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, a teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
  10. Divide the frosting into two bowls. Stir the cocoa powder into one bowl until well combined.
  11. Spread the white frosting on half of each cookie and the chocolate frosting on the other half.
  12. Let the frosting set before serving.

Notes

You can use black food coloring instead of cocoa powder for a different black frosting.
