When it comes to sweet treats, Trader Joe's Black and White Cookies are one of the most beloved offerings. This delicious cookie is made with a combination of butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and cocoa, and topped with a generous helping of creamy, white frosting and dark, bittersweet chocolate ganache. The result is a decadent treat that's perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 ¼ cups white chocolate chips, melted and cooled slightly
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Divide the dough in half and add the melted and cooled semi-sweet chocolate chips to one half and the melted and cooled white chocolate chips to the other half. Mix each half until just combined.
- Drop tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies are lightly golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the topping, melt the semi-sweet and white chocolate chips together in a double boiler or in the microwave. Dip each cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, then set on parchment paper to cool and set.
These Black and White Cookies are the perfect sweet treat for any occasion. The combination of buttery dough, creamy frosting, and bittersweet ganache make them a hit with everyone who tries them. Enjoy!
