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.
