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.

  3. 3

    Combine in dry ingredients and sour milk, alternating until mixed well.
