What is your Half Moon Cookie Recipe
 

HELP, I have lost my favorite Half Moon Cookie recipe and am looking for one that will be simular...would you post yours ????

Someone else who calls them half-moons!! Oh, you're from NY too. Where? I grew up east of Syracuse. Everywhere else they call them Black & Whites. How boring. Here is my mom's recipe, that I believe came from her mother. hope it's close to yours:

1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. shortening
2 eggs
3 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sour milk (if mom had no sour milk, she replaced a tablespoon of milk with a tablespoon of cider vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for about 15 minutes)

Cream shortening & sugar, beat in eggs. Sift dry ingredients, and stir in with vanilla & milk. Bake on grease sheets 12 minutes at 400º.

There ya go Wish you could send me one!

I love half moons(grew up in boston) I have no recipe but will be back to check them out. I do not like the ones that have the frosting so thin, and hard. I buy them when ever i go back. mmmmmeaster is coming might have to make a detour or go down a day earlier.
