Wikipedia
A moon pie or MoonPie is a pastry which consists of two round graham cracker cookies, with marshmallow filling in the center, dipped in vanilla or other flavors. The traditional pie is about the diameter of a hockey puck; a smaller version exists (mini MoonPie) that is about half the size. The four main flavors are chocolate, vanilla, grape, and blueberry. Three newer flavors, lemon, orange, and peanut butter are also available.

[edit] Preparation
Step 1 |
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. |
Step 2 |
For the cookie crusts: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter or margarine and white sugar. |
Step 3 |
Add egg, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Mix well. |
Step 4 |
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Add flour mixture slowly to sugar mixture while stirring. Mix just until all ingredients are combined. |
Step 5 |
Drop the dough onto greased cookie sheet by rounded tablespoonfuls. Leave at least 3 inches in between each one; dough will spread as it bakes. |
Step 6 |
Bake in preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until firm when pressed with finger. Allow to cool at least one hour before filling. |
Step 7 |
For the marshmallow filling: In a medium mixing bowl, blend together 1/2 cup butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar, flavored extract, and marshmallow creme. Mix until smooth. |
Step 8 |
Assemble pies by spreading 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls of filling on flat side of a cookie crust, then covering filling with flat side of another cookie crust. |
