Black and White Cookie Recipes

I want to bake NYC deli-style black and white cookies. Difficulty: I want them to have a consistency more like shortbread rather than cake. Do you have a good recipe?
The part about them having the consistency of shortbread is important, because I love shortbread but am not a huge fan of cake.
Please help!

Seconding pipeski above. The two things that make a black-and-white cookie a black-and-white cookie are:
1. The cakelike consistency, and
2. The black and white icing.
If you don't like the cakelike bit, then just make big shortbread cookies and ice them accordingly.

If you take a basic shortbread recipe, and lower the flour percentage somewhat, you'll end up with a mixture that's more cookie-like in terms of spreading out as it cooks. It'll also be less crisp, though.
