At Freedman’s in Los Angeles, Best New Chef Liz Johnson treats tradition like a suggestion, an approach that frees her up to finesse old ideas while still tugging at nostalgic heartstrings. It all might be best expressed in her version of a black-and-white cookie, a vanilla-sugar number that is soft and tender where the OG version is dry and cakey, with glossy ganache and egg-white frosting where a purist might have settled for fondant. With one bite it resolves every broken promise of every black-and-white that came before it, reminding us that in the hands of a true technician, relics have plenty of fight left in them. The total time for these sweet, tender cookies includes an overnight wait that allows them to soften to the perfect texture.

做饼干面团

  • 从豆荚中刮下豆豆种子到装有桨附件的重型立式搅拌机的碗中。加入黄油和糖,以中等速度跳动直至苍白和奶油,约4分钟。一次加入1个鸡蛋,每次添加后都会搅拌直至混合。将速度降低到低,并添加面粉混合物。跳动直到混合,大约1分钟。盖上30分钟。

  • 使用保鲜膜,将面团塑造成2 1/2- x 10英寸日志;用保鲜膜包裹,冷冻直到牢固,约2小时。

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Remove and discard plastic wrap, and cut log into 1/2-inch-thick slices; place on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Bake in preheated oven until just set on top and light golden brown on bottom, about 15 minutes, rotating baking sheet after 7 minutes. Cool completely on baking sheet, about 10 minutes.

做黑色糖霜
  • 将巧克力放入防热碗中。将奶油和玉米糖浆带到一个小锅中的小锅中,不断搅拌,直至混合。将奶油混合物倒在碗中;用少许盐调味,搅拌直至光滑。

Make the white frosting
  • 将玉米糖浆和糖在中高的小锅中煮沸,不断搅拌,直到糖溶解并混合2至3分钟。煮,经常搅拌,直到糖果温度计记录240°F,约3分钟。用装有搅拌器的台式搅拌机搅拌蛋清,直到泡沫。将热玉米糖浆混合物慢慢倒入打败的蛋清中,然后加入1/8茶匙盐。击打直到白色,蓬松和蛋白酥皮保持柔软的峰值,约2分钟。

  • Using an offset spatula, frost half of top of each cookie with black frosting and the other half with white frosting. Let stand at room temperature until frostings are dry to the touch, about 1 hour. Arrange cookies in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet; wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Let cookies stand 8 hours or overnight. (Cookies are best after standing at least 24 hours.)
