Is it like a nienish tart (in Australia) but without the cream filling?

Thats what i was going to say.. looks like a black & white neenish tart!! yum !! havent had one of them for years !!

Mmm, yum. I love neenish tarts and lamingtons, and now those black and white cookies look the go too.

Look what I found... http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/09/black-and-white-cookies/

That's a bun, that is. Cover-all term for bakery type product that is bad for you but tastes good!

just a girl - thanks for that link, i'm hooked on that site now!

for some reason i keep thinking these cookies will taste of icing and nothing else...hope you had a great hol shauna!

cheers for the comments folks... i'm baaaack and spazzy with jetlag.

Nerida - Kinda like a neenish tart, except it's the size of your head! :)

Just a girl - oooh i love Smitten Kitchen! thanks for the link - might have to give em a go :)

Oh, I forgot to try one of those! I ate tons of New York Pizza though LOL - holidays suck when they end - damn it.

Yum. You've got me thinking of pastries for breakfast...

That pastry is called an "American" in Germany... how befitting...

Hope you had a great time in one of my favourite cities... looking forward to reading about it!

Cheers,
Nicolette

Hi Shauna! I just wanted to say how much I like your blog and your writing. I was on the internet at work, and our internet filter blocked me from reading your blog because it has "pussy" in the title! Too funny.

I must agree with your other commenters...isn't the black and white cookie a Nienish tart? Who knows. I haven't eaten either of them, but they look the same. But whatever, a cake is a cake is a cake, and I ain't complaining if I'm eating one!

Thanks again for the great writing.

Love Carla

The size of your head? That's disturbing, and you don't even have a particularly large head or anything...

They look delicious nevertheless.

Oooooh, I'm going to have to read your non-fat blog more often Shauna! That cookie looks DIVINE!
