"Black-and-whiteCookies" news and stories

Baghdad G.I. gets his wish: black-and-white cookies

It's pretty safe to say that Katz's Deli was one of the first classic New York City eateries to be linked with care packages for U.S. soldiers. During World War II, it urged parents to, "Send a salami to your boy in the army."

Today some soldiers crave another classic New York City treat: the black-and-white cookie. He might hail from Maryland but Sgt. First Class Laurence Lang says the black-and-white cookies from the 60-year-old William Greenberg Jr. Desserts are out of this world. The shop has a photo of him holding a tin from the shop along with a letter of thanks for sending him cookies.

Greenberg's black-and-whites wound up in Iraq after a CBS producer he was working with asked if Lang wanted anything from the States. While he may not bite it right down the middle like Jerry Seinfeld he does like to savor both sides, at least for the first bite.
