The half-moons from Utica are similar, but different style icings which IMO are a big improvement! Would highly recommend people try the variation if you're going to go all out making these.
These are my favorite cookie of all time. Nothing hits like one of these from an east coast Jewish bagel shop and a cup of coffee.

Militar dinero / 2 = $438,000,000,000 / año.

= $180/mes para tener comida con "UBI" ????
I would love a video where your camera people try to make one of your recipes. The chaos would be amazing ????
Is there a way to bake these with a second baking sheet resting on top of the cookies to make both sides flat?
Wouldn't have expected to hear an "ew" about any food from you. 😮
“Look to the the cookie!”
I once read that the German name “Amerikaner“ derives from the chemical leavener that was used in the recipe back in the day! It’s called Hirschhornsalz in German (salt of hartshorn – or literally “deer hoof salt“ because it was extracted from animals‘ hooves). It’s mainly ammonium hydrogen carbonate and ammonium carbonate. The German words for these chemical compounds are exactly the same, you just pronounce them a little differently, and it is believed that they were too complicated for people to say so they just shortened it to a word that sounds similar – Amerikaner!!
Need to revisit that Seinfeld episode.
"Look to the cookie!"
Yaaaaaaaasssssss????????????

Oh I used to love „Amerikaner“ as a kid in Germany, always makes me happy to see that someone does proper research to find if they have a different name in another country! But we usually only have either chocolate or vanilla icing, never a mix of both. I’m most definitely going to look for them in a bakery tomorrow!
