In this episode of Inn the Wild, Laurie and Jason are back from a few days off to discuss beeps in the night, outdoor dining on Cape Cod, June's upcoming activities, and questions from guests and listeners. The recipe of the week is Half Moons.

Half Moons

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Chill Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 36

Cookie Ingredients

• 1 box of vanilla cake mix
• 1 stick of butter, softened
• 3 egg whites
• ¼ cup Greek vanilla bean yogurt

Icing Ingredients

• 3 c powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1 tbsp corn syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line baking sheets with parchment.
3. In a medium bowl, combine all four cookie ingredients and mix with an electric mixer until just combined.
4. Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop batter onto baking sheets and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
5. Bake cookies for 11-13 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
6. Remove from oven and allow to cool before icing.
7. Combine all icing ingredients except for cocoa powder. Turn the cookies over to spread icing on the flat bottoms. With a knife or spatula, spread icing on half of each cookie. Once done, add the cocoa powder to the icing bowl and mix to create chocolate icing which will be spread on the second half of each cookie.
