Halyna -- thank you thank you THANK YOU. I too am from Utica -- and grew up on Hemstrought's halfmoon cookies -- I have had them from every bakery I can find and have never found them to be as good -- with the exception of the Gingerbread Bakery in Sauquiot NY -- possibly because the men used to work at Hemstroughts and have the recipe! I know what I am making this evening!!
