How Black And White Cookies Are Made In NYC | Regional Eats

- If you grew up in New York, chances are you’ve seen these black-and-white cookies at grocery stores and delis all over the city. Topped with dark chocolate icing on one half and vanilla icing on the other half, the black and white cookie is New York’s answer to the Oreo and can vary amongst communities. Smack dab in the city, the cookie is known to be made flat on a denser cake with fondant icing. Meanwhile in upstate New York and Boston, the cookie is more dome-shaped and is made with a fluffier cake that’s topped with a buttercream frosting. We visit Zaro’s Bakery, a company that ships its cookies nationwide, to get a behind-the-scenes look at the making process of the NYC style of the famous East Coast cookie.

How Black And White Cookies Are Made In NYC | Regional Eats
I love how passionate he is about just one cookie. I am sure that same energy is a part of all he gives to the bakery.
Please.. He's a yuppie rich kid with a big office it's probably his first time on the floor.
@@dagfinissocool you sound very jealous.
@@audreybel6805 Try realistic.
@@dagfinissocool I’m surprised no one else got this vibe. He’s wearing an Apple Watch and acting like mixing sugar and water is fine science lmao
Y'all, whether it's just for show or not (which i think isn't, because he may not be working there manually everyday, as CEO he was knowledgeable up to the smallest details) we don't need negativity nowadays, k?
Wow that guy was nice and didn’t hold back any information he truly was just happy to be talking about his grandfather’s legacy.
"Is that appropriate to say on television?"
No, but this is the internet.
What?
@@justtheletterV274 5:46
Yeah but who doesnt want to bath in chocolate fondant? 😂
@@harukrentz435 ants? coz when they do, they die.
@@ech_severs oh
Definitely one of the nicest host of a bakery. 👍
Yeahhhhh.. i wish he didn't wear mask
@@novikim350 wym you wish he didn’t where a amask
@@lyricc2702 she thinks hes fine. She wanna see that face lol
For all y'all wondering:
YES you SHOULD use sour cream in your chocolate cakes! You can't taste it but it makes it perfectly moist, and tender. It's amazing.
I put sour cream and n blueberry muffins it’s really good
Mayonnaise is also a good substitute!
@@crisptomato9495 I've seen this in a lot of recipes and I just can't get past it. Some of the end products looks friggin amazing but the thought of dumping a jar of mayo into a any sort of dessert mixture makes me gag lol
But do you know how much sour cream you should put in for a recipe of chocolate cake or no? I've never done that before whenever I bake but I think I'll start doing it now 🗿
@@pvtparts90 try using coffee, imo it’s better than mayonnaise in chocolate cake
Love that Medha wore black and white for this episode and pretty sure that guy was actually Paul Rudd. Yup.
Japanese artisans: She needs at least 10 years to master the spread of icing.
Man im about to spit it out too 🤣🤣
I want to say its an exaggeration but my asian heritage prevents me xD
Im so impressed with how perfectly the japanese and koreans make their cakes/pastries. I watch their cooking videos on youtube and they’re true perfectionists
*a lifetime
The first 5 years she's only allowed to add the water to the mixer
My grandma came from Italy to upstate NY, we always called them half moon cookies. She always completely covered them in white icing then covered one half in chocolate. The icing was never sticky but dry to the touch like described in the video.
yeah idk if it’s a upstate thing but i call them half moon
Put it in the fridge so the icing gets hard, break it in half, eat the chocolate half first then eat the vanilla side. Little Southern East Coast secret, Publix bakery has mini black and white cookies that will rival anything from the Northeast. I can say that because I spent my summers on Long Island growing up and consider myself a black and white cookie connoisseur.
Hey, thank you for that fridge idea! That sounds great! I also seek the perfect half moon cookie. If you are ever in syracuse ny, you MUST try the half moons at Green Hills bakery on Salina st.
yesss i love this publix ones
Im with you on everything except eating the chocolate half first. It needs to be best for last, so chocolate is always second for me!!
I haven’t noticed any at my local Publix
I eat both
I love that guys energy, you can tell he's really passionate about his job
I'd be Hella passionate too if I was worth 7 figures and my family owned the business
@@BS-qg4ep true ofc

Look to the cookie Elaine, look to the cookie.
I directly came to the comments looking for this. Thank you for not disappointing.

I'm literally about to go work out, and of course this pops up before.
Just work out omfg stop being such a snowflake
@@cheechee6473 but being a a little snowflake boi is fun 😁
@Kanki K uh yeah!
@@mekong9629 lmao so a YT video controlling ur decisions is fun?? Bahahaha
Stay hard brother
The white isn’t vanilla though it’s literally just white frosting 😂
which is flavoured with vanilla…
@@gaoliag-7742 did you listen to him describe how the fondant is made at all? the white is icing sugar mixed with water, the chocolate is the white with cocoa powder mixed in. please tell me where the word vanilla appears in there, outside colloquially calling any white icing vanilla? I've also been eating half moons my entire life, there is not a single note of vanilla taste in them
It’s a vanilla cookie
@@daretodreamoutloud2124 i said nothing about the cookie itself, i'm strictly talking about the icing
@Eve put up your dukes
Medha's an absolutely delightful host! and Michael was great too! loved the video
I like her. She's funny, also clumsy but genuine and professional.
"LOOK TO THE COOKIE ELAINE!" -Jerry Seinfeld 😂
"If people would only look to the cookie, all our problems would be solved"
Lmfao I thought I was the only person that thought of Seinfeld with this cookie
"1 black and white. Peace"
When he and the guy in the store cookie toast each other haha *cue the Seinfeld theme*
the black and white? not getting along?
I love these cookies and alway's thought the cookie was made with lemon or lemon zest because that's the first thing I taste when I eat them.
Same
It is lemon zest you’re tasting
In the cookie part, not the icing part
Don’t think Zaro’s adds it…
Its probably from the sour cream that makes it kinda zingy
Why does it bother me so much that the “vanilla” doesn’t have vanilla in it
Yeah it's not vanilla unless it has vanilla
They add vanilla to the cake.
@@jaredf6205 they called the frosting vanilla
Same. They say "vanilla frosting" several times, so when they say the recipe of the frosting is sugar+water, I was like... Whaaaat 😕🤔
Perhaps they do that so it will be perfectly white, but I agree that I'd rather it be cream-colored and have vanilla in it. Cost shouldn't be an issue, since even imitation vanilla (vanillin) is better than nothing and extremely inexpensive
i grew up in new jersey and never realized this was a regional thing, they were everywhere.
I live in the southeast and have seen these cookies down here.
Florida has them. Idk about the west coast tho.
I'm a Jewish Texan and I didn't realize these were something that everyone ate, or that they were from New York. I thought they were just a Jewish thing! 😂
Same living in NY! Didn't realize it was regional til just now, although it is very much an east coast diner/bagel place/bakery type of cookie.
Growing up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn these were my favorite treat. Freshly baked. Fortunate to grow up exposed to different cultures and food.
That’s really interesting texture. Wanna try them 😍
The corn syrup grandpa certainly didn’t use back in Poland
He probably used regular sugar or if they’re crafty, homemade fructose
Fabulousness! They ate my favorite! The first time I had one was in NYC!
Yumi that looks delicious 😋
That cookie looks so delicious I wish I could have one right now
I grew up in N.Y. and moved to the Midwest. This cookie brings back the sweetest memories of my grandma who lived in Queens and bought this cookies from the bakery down the street from her, these cookies were always packed in a pink cake box tied with twine. ❤
Its so good to watch everytime that they include old videos of series in the past. :) i remember that features the Donut shop that shown in ironman.
This is incredibly wholesome.
I love these so much
Michael is one of the most substantive informant in this channel!
Had it twice it's the best thing that they do....so good!!
The guy is awesome, his passion is infectious
I live in Rhode Island and I grew up with these cookies!
Absolutely brilliant , thanks for sharing 👌👌
Agreed
What a great video!
the fondant pulling is very satisfying to watch
The sounds so nice and very good with customer.
I love these cookies!
Things aren't always so black and white..
But sometimes they are! 😋
Are you that guy that comments cooking puns?

I LOVE THESE COOKIES
I loveeeeee this cookie
Been living in Texas practically all my life, have visited New York and have never heard of these cookies, but now I want to try them.
🤗🤗THIS IS AMAZING🤗THANK YOU🤗🤗
this was such a wholesome episode(?)
good rapport
the guy is such a sweetheart
mouth watering
These were sold at my grocery store until recently. I had no idea they were so beloved.
This is where it came from. That’s why it translates to the American
I love these cookies
Medha is so cutely and hilariously helpless!
No one will resist delicious food
I wasn’t too sold on it until I saw how big and soft it looks in the video!!
I miss eating these from Brooklyn NY. I have to get some.
Nice 💖💖💖💖video❤️loved it❤️❤️❤️keep sharing stay safe...!!
One day for sure I'll be there and eat every single edible thing in NEW YORK CITY..All thanks to Food Insider
@Armpit Shawarma that must be a looong long day for your toilet, at least.
@@NutsInYourMouth kind of.... But you know what it's totally worth it..
I ll soon live my whole life in NYC , and eat everything shown here lol , work , thrive & probably pass away in NYC too.
Amen .
My hometown in upstate New York sells a black and white doughnut. Absolutely delectable. 10/10 recommended
Would love to see a video on real Italian Rainbow Cookies!
i eat them in germany in 1975 ... america, and i love them to this day ...
Amazing😄😄😄
I just had to click on this. Black and White cookies were a part of my childhood growing up in Queens New York.
Yummmm.....take them to the beach in Point Pleasant NJ ...
Ah yes! A Upstate NY classic!
Good
Now I want to go to Zaro's Bakery and get some of these!
Wholesome and surprising amount of information. Good work team 🤓
I really want to be a food journalist like her❤
God I love these cookies
Earned a sub
We call this "Amerykanka" In Poland. I didn't know i was actually Polish
wow.
I haven't seen them here in Poland but i would love to try it
You don't need to travel to the US to get one, just hop over the border to Germany. Many bakeries have them and they are called "Amerikaner" ("American"). Very good and not very expensive either.
@@bahnspotterEU yeah I live in the west of Poland, going across the country just for a cookie is not worth it saddly 😕
Biedronka should sell it, tho 😄. Btw, I’m an Indonesian who used to study in Warsaw for 2 years.
@@Missssay that would be amazing
An Amerikaner over here in Germany! One of my faves. The black and white ones are also common now, but these are an ooooold pastry here. I just saw some in the nearby Bäckerei and a supermarket not too long ago. 😅
Nice.
She's adorable.
I grew up in MA and I remember having these cookies at every single party we had.
Are they tasty? What's that like?
@@WillBlindYouWithLight I love the cookie but I’m not a fan of the frosting
what a nice man!
Yummy 😋😋😋😋
my fave cookie
wow super
LOOK TO THE COOKIE!!
I love the Zaro's black and white cookie its dense has a unique flavor and satisfying.
Just had a mini one while watching this. I'd love if they also did all chocolate and all vanilla. I guess that takes away from the allure.
this get an automatic like before watching the video 😍😍
These always remind me of neenish tarts. But couldn't possibly be as tasty.
I do desire one
Yessssss
Early and cool!
When I was young, actually my first job was at a commercial bakery. I made these everyday for about a year.
Look to the cookie!
Love the auto-caption error at 0:24 lol 😂😂
Ranboo cookies. I shall buy
I had them in CT and didn't realize it was a local thing.
Baltimore has a similar cookie (Berger cookie)
I grew up 30 minutes drive from Manhattan. All the local bakeries in my town made these and they only cost a dollar. They were a full meal 😋
Love Zaros black and whites!
我好喜欢这个频道的节目哦💖🌷😳😳
Like a lot of Polish and Czech bakery products, even here in Chicago, they are very simple, but they have their fans, especially on a Saturday morning...
Native New Yorker from Bensonhurst Brooklyn born and raised every Italian bakery has the quintessential Italian pastries but they all have black whites also my son loved these when he was little fuggedaboutit with the cannolis when he was 5 he only wanted black and whites
Zaro's fresh baked products that they show in their displays are incredible. Their pre-packaged products by the time they're sold go bad really fast.
Here in Houston when I go to Katz’s I always get a Reuben and a black and white cookie
