Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Hot water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and powdered sugar using a hand mixer on low speed. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Gradually add 2 tablespoons of milk and the vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting reaches your desired spreadable consistency. If it's too thick, add 1 more tablespoon of milk. This forms your vanilla frosting.
Step 3
Divide the vanilla frosting in half. Set one half aside for the white portion of the cookies.
Step 4
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 5
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate and the second half of the vanilla frosting. Add 1 tablespoon of hot water to thin the mixture slightly, creating your smooth chocolate frosting.
Step 6
Allow the frostings to sit for a few minutes at room temperature before spreading onto half moon cookies to ensure the consistency is firm but spreadable.
Step 7
Frost the flat side of each cookie: spread vanilla frosting on one half and chocolate frosting on the other half for the classic half moon cookie look.
