Famous Giant Black & White Cookies
95%Read ReviewsNew York Magazine calls it the best black & white cookie in the city, and it comes from William Greenberg Desserts, an Upper East Side fixture since 1946. Bigger than a hand, the cookie is really a soft, cake-like round, split down the middle in the bakery’s signature fondant, one half dark chocolate and one half vanilla. It’s the treat Ina Garten and O Magazine both champion, still made at the Madison Avenue flagship nearly eighty years on. Perfect for a taste of home for a transplanted New Yorker, an afternoon coffee, a Christmas cookie platter, or a first encounter with the real thing.

New York's Iconic Black & White Cookies
New York's Iconic Black & White Cookies
The half vanilla, half chocolate cookie from Manhattan’s William Greenberg Bakery, of course. A beloved classic since 1946, New Yorkers are fiercely loyal to this quintessential local delight—it’s been voted the “Best of New York” and even Jerry Seinfeld knows the best way to eat them: by getting some black and some white in every bite. “Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate,” says Jerry, explaining the delicate art of eating these cake-like treasures in Seinfeld episode 74. We wholeheartedly concur.
Sophisticated, delightful, and outright delicious, these legendary cookies are handcrafted and made fresh every morning—and now this unique taste of New York is available wherever you are. Lucky you.
