This is a great recipe! The original called for 1cup of butter but I used 2 sticks of margarine and it came out fine.

White icing-

1 cup confectioners sugar

1/4 tsp vanilla sugar

2 tbs boiling water

1 tbs oil

drop of lemon juice

Black icing-

3/4 cup confectioners sugar

2 tsp boiling water

4 tbs cocoa

First I didn’t understand what RebYidd’s post had to do with this thread: it has nothing to do with the recipe, but questions the whole premise of black-and-whites altogether. Next I wondered what his question was supposed to mean. Why “this particular type of cookie”? Because it’s a black and white. By definition it’s two colors–that’s what makes it a black and white, and that’s why it always has two colors.

Then, I realized that kushya mituretzes b’chaverta–if the OP wanted a recipe for black and white cookies, and not black and white frosting, then there is obviously only a certain cookie which could be made into black and whites.
