black and whites

Iced round cookies

Black and whites are cookies frosted half with vanilla icing and half with chocolate, popular in New York City bakeries and delis.

The term also refers to police cars, from their traditional two-tone paint scheme: Two black and whites pulled up to the scene.

In photography or film, black and whites are images without color.
