Never lasts long enough around here to freeze it. I remember awaking a
fair number of folks here on the choice chocolates from ALDI. That's a

My doctor tells me that the Albuterol is a "rescue" implement. I was having
a problem the other day even w/5 litres og oxygen from the portable generator
but the inhaler brought the numberd up 15 to 20 points very quickly.

Enjoy the rest of your trip ..........

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Solar Eclipse Moonpie
Categories: Cookies, Chocolate, Dairy, Candies
Yield: 6 to 30 cookies

1 lg Egg
1 c Granulated sugar
1 c Sour cream; divided
1 ts Pure vanilla extract
2 c A-P flour
1 ts Baking powder
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Baking soda
3 tb Cocoa powder

MMMMM--------------------------ICING---------------------------------
3 tb Hot coffee
1 tb Melted butter
1 tb Cocoa powder
1/4 c Powdered sugar; added 1 tb
- at a time
1 container marshmallow fluff

Set the oven @ 375ºF/190ºC

In a medium bowl sift the flour, baking powder, baking
soda, salt and cocoa, set aside.

Start by creaming the egg, sugar and vanilla together in
a mixer. Add the sour cream, ½ cup at a time - combine
well.

When the wet ingredients are well combined add half the
dry ingredients. Continue adding by spoonfuls until all
of the dry ingredients are combined. Stopping a couple
of times to scrape down the sides of the bowl to
incorporate all of the ingredients.

Lightly grease the baking sheet or using a silicone mat.
Drop the cookies by scoopers onto the baking sheet. Bake
in the preheated oven 12-14 minutes until the cookies
are baked thru.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

For the icing, combine the coffee, melted butter and
cocoa and whisk together well. Add the powdered sugar by
spoonfuls until it's a drizzling consistency.

Once cookies are completely cool, slather the bottom of
one cookies with marshmallow fluff. Top it with a second
cookie and drizzle the icing over generously.

Inserting three toothpicks up thru the bottom of the
cookie, thru the fluff and into the top cookie will keep
the cookies together until they set up. Remove the
toothpicks prior to serving!

Serve with and enjoy the eclipse!

NOTES: This will make six moonpies using a large ice
cream scoop. If you're making smaller cookies about 30 -
reduce baking time to 8-10 minutes.
