After reading Lisa Horel’s Salon article about the Snowflake Pastry Shop Half Moon Cookies), I vowed not to make any until I got my hands on some fiori di sicilia, a flavoring described as “the essence of Italian flowers” and which Lisa said was the key to good Black & White Cookies. She’d been eating them all her life, so I figured she knew what she was talking about. Sadly, after days and days of searching South Austin for this flavoring, I gave up. No one carries it, which means I’ll have to order it from good old King Arthur. In the meantime, I decided to make some Black & White recipes (Black & Whites and Half Moon Cookies are pretty much the same thing) back to back and see which I like best. First up, was the Snowflake recipe Lisa had adapted from her baking hero, Milt Ziegler.
