½ cup cubed Cheddar cheese
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup water
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • In a food processor, add onion to puree, then add cheese to puree. Add chicken and puree a final time.
  • In a large bowl, add flour and make a well in the center. Add eggs and mix well; add water and adjust with flour and water as needed. Dough should be elastic, but not sticky.

Cut out 2 inch circles and brush with egg and water mixture. Place 1 teaspoon of stuffing in the middle of the circle and fold over. Seal the half moon by crimping the edge.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality flour.
  • Make sure your butter is cold and firm before you start mixing the dough. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
  • Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. If the dough is too thick, the cookies will be too hard. If the dough is too thin, the cookies will be too soft.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into triangles. This will help to prevent the cookies from crumbling.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy crust and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the cookies from falling apart.

So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or dessert, give Ritz Half-Moons a try. They're sure to be a hit with family and friends alike. And with so many different variations, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy.
