Baltimore famous berger cookies

I've done my best to duplicate Almost Berger Cookies for you here.And I've got it pretty darn close. I am a FAN.

These wonderful cookies are soft, moist, chewy... and spicy! Their secret? Ground black pepper, which gives their flavor delicious "bite" right at the end. Fresh-grated ginger and crystallized ginger add their own distinctive sweet-hot flavors. Thanks to Pies a la Mode, a bakery in Falmouth, Massachusetts, for the cookies that inspired this recipe.

If you are from Maryland YOU know about these cookies! Well let me say that this recipe...is to me even better than store bought bergers! They are outrageously...

This recipe is originally from King Arthur Flour, but I changed the icing a bit by using maple syrup.

Baltimore's storied Berger cookies, a product of that city's DeBaufre Bakeries, are a close relation to New York City's Black and Whites (a.k.a. Half and Halfs or Half Moons). These cake-like cookies are piled with thick, rich chocolate icing — the thicker the better. Note that the cookies themselves are rather dry, so the over-the-top amount of icing, rather than being overkill, is just right. While we can't claim this recipe makes "the real thing," we feel it's close to the original — and…

Maryland’s cookie is a cake-like vanilla cookie slathered with a layer of fudge as thick as the cookie itself.
