Black & White Cookies ( Half & Half's)

I made these cookies today in honor of the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul.

For the cookies:

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
1 1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup shortening

2 eggs

3 cups flour

1/2 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Baking Powder

1 tsp. Baking soda

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup Buttermilk
Cream together sugar and Crisco, then add together the rest of the ingredients.
Spoon batter on to cookie sheet. The mixture will resemble a thick cake batter.
Scoop and drop onto lined cookie sheet. Shake cookie sheet slightly to allow batter to settle down. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes and remove from oven. Allow cookies to sit on pan for 5 minutes before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool.
Turn the cookie over and frost the back side of the cookie with vanilla frosting on one half and chocolate frosting on the other half.
