Half Moon Cookies (White) Recipe - Food.com image

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.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour milk (1 Tbsp white vinegar plus milk to make 1 cup)
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

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.

THE ORIGINAL HALF-MOON COOKIE | JUST A PINCH RECIPES
In NYC and elsewhere, they are known as "Black and Whites" or "half-and-half's". President Obama dubbed them "Unity Cookies". In Germany, where they are iced with either the vanilla or chocolate fondant only, they are called "Amerikaners"... Here in Central New York, we call them Half-Moon cookies and they are slightly different - soft, moist and sweet... Whatever else you call them, "delicious" is something on which everyone can agree. The bakery is now closed, but we can still buy them in stores. This is the original recipe shared by the owners years ago - scaled down. Enjoy!

  • Chill cookies in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the icing has completely set. Enjoy! Note: Another non-traditional method of icing these cookies is to dip each cookie halfway in white icing first. Then, chill to let it set. After that, dip the remaining half in chocolate icing and let it set again. This way, both sides (the dome and flat side) of the cookie get iced and it's also not as messy as the original method.
