2142.3Standard small cakes with frosting, maybe?DOCS::DOCSVSThu Dec 07 1989 14:135
    I'd heard them called "moon pies".  I think they're just cake-textured
    chocolate cookies that are frosted on one side with white frosting.
    I'll look and see if I find a recipe...

2142.5I think whoopie pies are already listedAKOV11::GMURRAYFri Dec 08 1989 13:448
    I always called two small cakes with the cream between them
    whoopie pies.
    
    For half moons, I use the whoopie pie recipe, only I add a little more
    milk to make them flatter.  Then use your favorite chocolate and
    vanilla frostings and do half on each side.

2142.8Pearl's 1/2 and 1/2 CookiesTLE::EIKENBERRYSharon EikenberryWed Dec 20 1989 12:5738
This is the recipe my sister uses for what we call "Half Moons".

                             Pearl's 1/2 and 1/2 Cookies

            1/4 lb. margarine                  2 Cups sifted flour
            1 Cup sugar                        1/2 tsp baking soda
            1 egg                              1/2 C sour milk
            1/2 tsp salt                          (2 tsp vinegar added to milk)
            1 tsp vanilla
 

   Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake
in a 400 degree oven.  20 minutes for large cookies, 10-12 for small.
Frost half white, half chocolate.

   [The recipe doesn't give an order for combining ingredients - use
    common sense, I guess!]


                          Quick White Icing

         Sift:
               2 Cups confectioners' sugar

         Beat until soft:
               3 tablespoons butter

         Add sugar gradually, blend until creamy.

         Add:
               1/4 teaspoon salt
               2 teaspoons vanilla

         If mixture is too thick, add milk.


         Add cocoa for chocolate icing.

2142.10My wife's recipe ....OCTAVE::VIGNEAULTWe're all bozos on this Q-busFri Dec 28 1990 18:2627
    
    Well, I'm biased, but my wife makes great Black Moons. Here's the 
    recipe she uses.  
    
    1/2 cup soft margarine                   1   tsp vanilla
    1   cup sugar                            1/2 cup cocoa
    1   egg                                  1   cup milk
    2   cups flour                           1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp baking powder                    1 1/2 tsp baking soda
    
    Place above ingredients in large bowl and beat at low speed until
    smooth; drop by rounded tablespoon on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake
    at 400 deg. for 5 minutes. Cool and make sandwiches with the following
    filling:
    
    1/2 cup shortening                      1 tsp vanilla
    2   cup confectioners sugar             3 or 4 tbsp of milk
    1/2 jar Marshmallow fluff
    
    Blend using electric mixer until light and fluffy.  Wrap individually
    in plastic wrap.  
    
    These are great when made with a Kitchenaid Mixer, they seem to be 
    much lighter and airier.
