In America this baked treat is called a black & white cookie or half moon cake, it’s quite common in New York and I’m pretty sure they invented it.
[It’s probably inspired by an American snacks though](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_white_cookie).
I love Amerikaner but I don’t think this is our most sugary snack…
Maybe because it’s made using natron 🤷
Thanks to the comments TIL. From wikipedia:
The Amerikaner is often decorated like the black and white cookie, but can be frosted entirely in vanilla instead. The origin and name of Amerikaner in Germany is unclear, as is their possible relationship to black-and-white cookies. It is sometimes claimed that the cookie was introduced or reintroduced by American GIs serving at US military bases in Germany during the 1950s. Another theory proposes a corruption of the word Ammoniumhydrogencarbonat (ammonium bicarbonate, a leavening agent). In the former East Germany, due to anti-Americanism, the name Ammonplätzchen (Ammonia cookies) was used.
