"text": "National Black and White Cookie Day, observed annually on September 14, celebrates the soft, cake-like cookie also known as a half moon cookie. Its classic design divides the top between vanilla and chocolate icing, traditionally made with fondant or boiled icing. Despite being called a cookie, it has a cakey base and is sometimes described as a hybrid of cookie and cake. The Nibble’s overview of black-and-white cookie history notes that the treat emerged in New York City in the early 1900s, although its exact origin remains uncertain.\nThe earliest reference located by that source comes from a third-generation baker at Glaser’s Bakery, who said the bakery had made black-and-white cookies since opening in 1902. The cookie became especially popular in Jewish bakeries and delis throughout New York during the mid-20th century. It later gained national attention after appearing in the 1994 Seinfeld episode “The Dinner Party,” in which Jerry’s “Look to the cookie!” remark used the cookie’s two contrasting halves as a metaphor for racial harmony.\nVariations may use fluffy frosting instead of smooth fondant, and bakers sometimes replace the traditional colors with seasonal or themed combinations. Some also make cookies covered entirely in chocolate or vanilla icing, sometimes called “full moon cookies.”",
