DEMI-LUNE Half Moon Cookies

October 11, 2006 Swiss style cookies. They are a type of traditional “fortune cookie”. Here is how you do it: break a cookie along the line and choose one of the halves, or a “half moon”, to eat. If your half moon has a capital letter “H” or “B” on the back, you’ll have good luck. The letter “H” stands for “happiness”, and “B” stands for the French word “bonheur,” which also means “happiness”. Instead of marking letters, you can hide a tiny bean in the half of each cookie.
