Half Moons

Tonight, on this cold rainy, dreary night, I finally tried to make homemade half moon cookies. These are always a treat when you go into an Italian Bakery, and most of the time I can't resist them. Well I found a recipe that seemed fairly easy, and after playing around with it and making some changes I was ready to go. Of course my kids see me baking and decide they want to join in on the fun and keep asking to help ( they are 4 and 2 so I say no, not this time). Anyway I make the batter and it seems to runny so I add more flour and the batter resembles Anise cookie batter. Not sure if this is good or not since I have never made these before. I make my test cookie and it looks perfect. I continue on and end up making a little over two dozen cookies. While they cool I start making the frostings. This is always the tricky part, you usually end up putting in too much powdered suger or too much milk so it takes a bit to end up with the right consistence. Well I think the end result is wonderful. Take a look at the pictures and let me know what you think. Well I'm off to decide what I will try next. If you have any suggestions please leave me a comment.

Thank you
