Lucky Magazine
White House Black Market Photo Shoot

Last week, I headed to New York for a collaborative projection betwixt Lucky Magazine, White House Black Market as well as three Bloggers (1 of them beingness me...).  The projection volition hold upwardly included inwards the September trial of Lucky Magazine.

The photograph to the left was me having my pilus as well as makeup done - they had their run cutting out for them.  I had only come upwardly from our Martha's Vineyard vacation as well as my peel was a mess - peeling as well as red!

As a "Thank You" for including me, I sent the both Lucky Magazine squad as well as the White House Black Market squad a box of Black & White cookies...  Get it - White House Black Market = Black & White cookies.  Pretty creative, I know, but 'hey' who doesn't honey a box of cookies!

The decorating method is below.  To run into how I packaged them inwards cellophane bags amongst kraft newspaper circle labels, click here.

Black & White cookies are a New York classic - they are traditionally made from scoops of leftover cake batter baked similar cookies, thus glazed amongst one-half white as well as one-half chocolate icing.  In fearfulness of messing upwardly the cake batter version, I made my ain versions of cookies amongst my sugar cookie dough.  I promise non also many New Yorkers are offended - my apologies!


I used my Sugar Cookie Recipe as well as cutting the cookies amongst a scalloped border 3-inch cutter.


For the "Black" half, I used chocolate ganache mixed amongst buttercream.

Chocolate Ganache Buttercream

3/4 loving cup of royal icing recipe 
1/4 loving cup of semi sugariness chocolate chips
two tablespoons of butter
1/2 loving cup of powdered carbohydrate (more may hold upwardly needed)

Place chocolate chips inwards a pocket-size bowl amongst butter on top.  Microwave for xxx seconds at a time, stirring inwards between, until the chocolate is smooth.  Add majestic icing as well as powdered sugar.  Add every bit much powdered carbohydrate every bit needed until the right consistency (spreadable, but non runny) is achieved.



Make a dam only about the border of one-half of the cookie.  Fill inwards amongst icing as well as smoothen amongst the tip of a knife...



Let the chocolate harden.


Ice the other one-half amongst white majestic icing.
Royal Icing

3 egg whites
iv cups of powdered sugar

In the Kitchen Aid fitted amongst a whisk attachment, shell the egg whites until most frothy.  Add inwards the powdered carbohydrate as well as whisk on ho-hum until smooth.  You may involve to add together to a greater extent than or less powdered carbohydrate or H2O to accomplish desired thickness.  For carbohydrate cookies, y'all wishing the icing to hold upwardly sparse plenty that it volition autumn dorsum on itself as well as smoothen itself out, but non also sparse thus it volition run off of the cookie.
