COOKIE STATION

THE SHARING OF B&W COOKIES AND HAPPINESS

The History of Black and White Cookies!

According to most culinary historians, black and white cookies (half-moon

cookies) probably originated in Central New York at a Utica Bakery,
Hemstroughts. The legend began when Harry Hemstrought, a former architect,
opened up a little bakery in Utica in 1925.His signature cookie, half chocolate
icing, half white, caught on immediately with his customers. Hemstroughts
Bakery continues to churn out more than 13,000 Half Moon cookies daily ,
each one baked fresh every day. The chocolate side is a fudge icing, the white
is vanilla. The recipe used today is the original one dating from over 80-years
ago. It is a handwritten recipe still tacked to the wall of the bakery.

THE IDEA OF SHARING

We believe that neither the black & white cookies nor the
happiness that the cookies bring to us should be fading away. We
want to create something in favor of the cookies; something that is
more about sharing rather than selling; something that is about the
experience as well as the food itself; something that could be the
monument for the black & white cookies, still has some practical value.
Here comes the idea of Cookie Station.

COOKIE STATION @NYC

The intention of creating Cookie Station is to

find a way to promote black & white cookies and
share the happiness that the cookies bring to us.
Cookie Station provides free black & white
cookies. People in New York City can come to
find us (following the routing map, or the music),
taste black & white cookies, and bring some home
to share with families and friends.
