These half moons are kind of like brownies, with added nuts, and a crunchy sweet topping. These are jam-packed with flavor and texture and are extremely moist. Feel free to cut them into any shape you want, and enjoy the “scraps”!
6 eggs, separated
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon Gefen Vanilla Sugar
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons Gefen Cocoa
1/2 pound nuts
1/2 cup Glicks Flour
1/2 pound shortening
Beat egg whites until stiff, add sugar, vanilla sugar and salt.
Add cocoa, nuts (reserving 1/2 cup of nuts for the top), flour, shortening and egg yolks.
Spread onto cookie sheet and sprinkle with 1/2 cup nuts mixed with a little sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Cool.
Cut into half moon shapes by cutting with a drinking glass.
