These are classic black and white cookies, with a little ratio adjustment to turn the chocolate into a kippah.

For the Cookies
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare two baking sheets with Gefen Easy Baking Parchment Paper.
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and vanilla until incorporated. Add flour and salt and mix well.
-
Using a quarter-cup measure (for large cookies) or your hands, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets. For even cookies, I recommend rolling the dough into a round ball and flattening slightly with the greased bottom of a measuring cup.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are just beginning to turn golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
For the Frosting
-
Combine confectioners’ sugar, water, and vanilla. You may need to add a bit more sugar or water to achieve a spreadable but not runny consistency.
-
Spread frosting over most of the cookie, leaving a small portion at the top for the kippah. There will be frosting left over. Let frosting set.
-
Add the cocoa to the remaining frosting and mix well. You may need to add a couple drops of water at this point to compensate for the added cocoa.
-
Spread chocolate frosting over kippah area.
