Moon Cookies

                                       These are Diamond Shapes -- Only photo I had of this cookie.

We decided to bribe The Moon with cookies, since we were having trouble sleeping during this Full Moon.  I had the ingredients on hand for Jam Diamonds from the 1999 BH&G Christmas Cookie magazine (this is the finest collection of Christmas cookies ever!).  Instead of diamonds, however, we shaped them into moons and jazzed up the glaze a little.  Here it is:
Cookies:
2 C. all purpose flour
1/4 C. sugar
1 C. butter (no substitutes)
1 C. small-curd cottage cheese
1/4 C. fruit jam (we used triple berry)
Glaze:
1 C. powdered sugar
2 T. Hazelnut coffee creamer (liquid)

Combine flour and sugar in mixing bowl. Cut-in butter and cottage cheese until it clings together and forms large-ish crumbles.  Knead dough 8 strokes, then form into about a 2" log and wrap in waxed paper.  Chill in freezer 20 min. until firm but not stiff.
Cut slices from the log and tidy-up the shape into little rounds (about 1/4" slices).  Place on lightly greased baking sheet.  Spread about 1/2 tsp. jam across the top of each round.  Bake in 400 degree oven 10-12 min. until edges are golden. Transfer to board to cool.  Mix powdered sugar and coffee creamer to make thin glaze.  After cookies have cooled, drizzle glaze generously across the tops.  Makes about 2 dozen. Photo will follow as soon as I get one uploaded (I actually only have a photo of diamond shaped ones I made a while ago because we ate the moon-shaped ones so quickly).
