Make these crescent shaped cookies to celebrate after an esbat ritual. You can dip them in chocolate, put frosting on them or sprinkles! They are so delicious and perfect for a light snack after your full moon spell.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup butter softened
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Blend flour, baking soda, and baking powder together. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg to the butter and sugar and mix well. Add vanilla extract. One cup at a time, add the flour mix into the wet ingredients. Mix until it's nice and doughy.
Flour your hands, and roll dough into pieces about the size of a golf ball. Squash it down and shape it into a crescent, and then flatten it down. Another option is to roll the dough out and cut it with crescent cookie cutters, be sure to flour your cookie cutters before you use them, or the dough won't come out as well.
Bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 350 for about ten minutes, until the sides begin to brown.
Frosting Recipe:
1 - 8 oz block of cream cheese softened
1 stick butter softened
4 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp milk
Blend the cream cheese and butter together, and then gradually add in the powdered sugar. Add the vanilla and mix well. Blend in the milk (add a little more if your icing doesn't seem creamy enough). After your moon cookies have cooled, use this to frost them.
While making your cookies, visualize the goddess and your love for her. Feel her energy as you mix your ingredients. You are empowering these ingredients with the Goddess energy, and you will feel her love when you eat them! Enjoy making your cookies!
