I love black and white cookies and these were a good take on them.

2. Mix butter till creamy, add sugar and mix till fluffy.
3. Mix in the egg and 1/2 tsp vanilla.
4. Mix in the flour and buttermilk (add a little flour, then a little buttermilk, alternating the two until fully incorporated)
5. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place 2'' apart on baking sheets. 
6. Bake 10 minutes or until bottoms turn golden. Let cool
7. Whisk confectioners sugar, corn syrup, 1/4 tsp vanilla and 1/4 tsp water till smooth. If necessary add more water, icing should be thicker than honey.
