Personal Notes:
These are the closest things to those yummy store-bought half-moons. Getting the texture just right to have them flatten out is sometimes tough, but they taste good whether they're flat or puffy. Just frost the cooled cookies - one side with white frosting, the other with chocolate to make the half-moons. Ida was a church friend. We were at her Christmas party when I went into labor to have Nora.
