I made these last week. In Upstate NY we love our Half Moons and debate who has the best ones. We never call them black & whites! That's their downstate name. One of the local grocery chains sells them for a buck a pop so I make my own. I prefer the buttery cookie with frosting as opposed to a sourdough cookie with icing.1 C. Sugar
1/2 C. shortening
1/2 C. Buttermilk
1 1/2 teasp. vanilla
1 egg
1 teasp. Baking Powder
1/2 teasp. Baking soda
2 C. all purpose Flour
Preheat oven to 350°
grease cookie sheet
Drop dough by 1/4 C. about 3" apart. Flatten slightly.
Bake 15-19 minutes until edges begin to brown and tops spring back when touched.
Remove to wire rack.
Frost cookies half white & half chocolate.

Will it all be gone by next week? I think not!

Those cookies look delicious, if only I could eat them!
ReplyDeleteOoooh those cookies look good! I've saved the recipe:-) Is that logging taking place right at the back of your place? I'll never forget when I went to Vancouver, BC in the late 1980's...they had started logging on some of the mountains and great big areas were stripped of trees, quite a sad sight. You, dear girl, have a LOT of snow left, I guess I better stop complaining of the little snowfall we had yesterday! lol Hope it melts for you realll soon!
ReplyDeletei am drooling now, this is very bad for keyboards
ReplyDeleteYUM!!! Here in Oregon, I'm familiar with Half-moons or Black and Whites...but I know a delicious looking cookie when I see one! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try these...:)
I cannot believe you have all that snow. You need a good rain to melt it all!!
