Black and White Cookies

1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 pound butter
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
2 1/2 cups cake flour
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Frosting

4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 to 1/2 cup boiling water
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate

In a large mixing bowl combine the sugar and butter until fluffy.
Add eggs, milk, vanilla and lemon extract and mix until smooth.
In a medium bowl, combine flours, baking powder and salt.

Add dry ingredients to the wet in batches, stirring well. Drop
soupspoonful of dough 2 inches apart on buttered baking sheets.
Bake at 375 degrees until edges begin to brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
Let cool completely.

To make frosting, put confectioners' sugar in a bowl. Stir in
enough water to make the mixture thick and spreadable. Remove half
the frosting to the top half of a double boiler over simmering
water. Add chocolate and warm the mixture until chocolate is melted
and the frosting is smooth. Remove from heat. With brush, coat
half the cookie with chocolate frosting and the other half with
white frosting. Makes 2 dozen large cookies.
