HALF MOON COOKIES (WHITE)

Growing up, there was a local bakery that made the best half-moon cookies. That bakery isn't in business any more, so now I have to make my own. Half Moon cookies bring back such great childhood memories for me. For frosting, use recipe #188454.

Steps:

  • Cream butter, shortening and sugars together.You can use all butter, or all shortening if you prefer, but the texture and shape will come out a little different.
  • Mix in eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients together in a separate bowl.
  • Combine in dry ingredients and sour milk, alternating until mixed well.
  • Drop from Tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet (About 1/8 cup is the right size) Your cookie sheet should not be warped, or else your cookies won't come out nice and round. Allow plenty of room for the cookies to spread. Start with 4 cookies to a sheet and then see if you can increase to fitting 6 cookies.
  • Bake at 375 F for 12-15 minutes.
  • Frost the BOTTOM of the cookies. Half with white frosting, half with chocolate frosting with frosting recipe #188454.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flours, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat butter on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with 2 additions of buttermilk, beating until just combined (do not overmix). Refrigerate dough until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Roll 1- or 1 1/2-tablespoon pieces of dough into balls; place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until bottoms turn golden, rotating sheets halfway through, about 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely. Cookies can be stored at room temperature up to 1 day.
  • Cook berries and remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring and crushing berries until soft and juices have been released. Pass mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible, and let cool completely.
  • Whisk together confectioners' sugar, honey, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Transfer half of icing to another bowl, and whisk in 1 teaspoon more water. Divide remaining portion in half again, and stir 1/2 teaspoon berry puree into one part, and cocoa powder and 3/4 teaspoon water into other. Spread white icing on half of each cookieâ??s flat side and fruit or chocolate icing on other half. Let set 30 minutes before serving.

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup fresh berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder

HALF MOON COOKIES

This is another recipe from my late great hero, Mr. Food. I don't care for these cookies either from this recipe or from a bakery, but everyone raves about these cookies when I make them. I usually nuke the frosting for about 15 seconds to make it easier when applying it to the cookies. This is a very common cookie from the Jewish bakeries all over New York's boroughs.
