  • 4 one-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate
  • 2 cups of sugar

Chocolate Half Moon Cookies
This week's Dessert is brought to us by Susan McNeil.  She has shared her recipe for Chocolate Half Moon Cookies.  These goodies are similar to the traditional Black and White Cookies but with extra chocolate and brown sugar.  Perfect for the chocolate lover and Valentine's Day! Thanks for the terrific recipe Susan : )!

Black & White Cookie
As a native New Yorker and as a young girl living in New York, I would use my newspaper route money to buy one of these delicious cookies from my local bakery. Back then I didn't care how they were made as long as I had my black and white cookie every week. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do !
