Dissolve 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder in the hot water before adding it to the chocolate icing for a rich mocha flavor.
Replace the lemon extract with 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract in the cookie batter for a nutty aroma and taste.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the chocolate icing for a classic mint-chocolate combination.

One homemade Black and White Cookie contains approximately 360 calories, depending on the exact size and thickness of the icing.
Black and White Cookies are a dessert and should be considered an indulgent treat. They are high in sugar and carbohydrates. While not a health food, they can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
The consistency of fondant icing is very sensitive to liquid. If it's too runny, whisk in more sifted powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time. If it's too thick, whisk in hot water, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until it's spreadable.
That's the unique charm of a Black and White Cookie! The base is technically a 'drop cake,' which has a soft, spongy, cake-like crumb, rather than the chewy or crispy texture of a typical cookie.
Store them in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Do not refrigerate, as it can dry out the cake base. If you must stack them, place a sheet of parchment paper between the layers after the icing has fully set.
