Time 38m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup marshmallow creme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
  • To Make Cookie Crusts: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter or margarine and white sugar. Add egg, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Mix well. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Add flour mixture slowly to sugar mixture while stirring. Mix just until all ingredients are combined.
  • Drop the dough onto greased cookie sheet by rounded tablespoonfuls. Leave at least 3 inches in between each one; dough will spread as it bakes.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until firm when pressed with finger. Allow to cool at least one hour before filling.
  • To Make Marshmallow Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, blend together 1/2 cup butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar, flavored extract, and marshmallow creme. Mix until smooth. Assemble pies by spreading 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls of filling on flat side of a cookie crust, then covering filling with flat side of another cookie crust.

BLACKMOONS

My mom was a newlywed in the 1950s when she found this recipe. It's been my favorite dessert as long as I can remember. Since I've never seen the exact recipe anywhere else, I have copies stashed all over the place so I never lose it. I usually increase all the filling ingredients by half to have more of it. I've never counted the number of blackmoons this makes so I'm just guessing.
