Black and White Cookies

Enough frosting for 12 cookies

2T whipping cream plus extra to adjust consistancy
1T butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1/ 1/2 cups powdered sugar

3T semi-sweet chocolate chips 
1T whipping cream

For the cookie: 

Follow the recipe for Frosted Sugar Cookies http://eastwoodseatery.blogspot.com/2012/06/frosted-sugar-cookies.html

I normally have these cookies already made up and frozen. I make decorate some with the pink frosting, and then use the same cookie to make Black and Whites.

• In small microwavable measuring cup (I use my glass 8 oz. measuring cup) , microwave 2T cream and 1T butter on High about 30 seconds; stir until butter is melted. Add butter mixture and vanilla to powdered sugar (I use my glass 16 oz. measuring cup) ; stir until mixture is smooth.
• In the now-empty measuring cup, microwave 3T chocolate chips and  1T cream on High 30 seconds; or until melted. Stir half of vanilla icing into melted chocolate mixture until smooth and well blended. If necessary, add additional cream to thin both vanilla and chocolate icing.
• Spread half with chocolate frosting, then the other half with white icing. Store covered at room temperature.
