Black and White Cupcakes

| |

Pizzazzerie calls these “New York Style” black and white cupcakes, like the cookies.  Not sure about the reference to New York since we have the cookies here in Florida but that doesn’t really matter.  The cookies are to die for!  Imagine a the cookie is now a cake covered in half vanilla and half chocolate glaze.  Exactly.  Doesn’t matter where the cookie became popular, all that matters is that you make a batch of the cupcakes wherever you are.
