Ingredient list

4 OREO Lemon Creme Cookies
8 small white candy stars

Directions

Twist the top and bottom halves of each cookie in opposite directions to separate the cookie halves, leaving all the creme on one half of each cookie.

Carve the creme to resemble a crescent moon as shown in photo using a 1-inch round cookie cutter to cut into and scrape away the creme. For the different phases of the moons, vary the amounts of the creme you scrape off.

Add the candy stars, using some of the removed creme to secure the stars to the cookies.

Recipe Tips

Hints on Twisting the Cookies ApartTwist the cookies apart gently in a back-and-forth motion to release one cookie half from the creme. Or, you can use a small metal spatula to scrape the creme close to one half of the cookie. Any creme remaining on the plain cookie halves can be spread onto the creme-topped cookie halves. If desired, you can scrape off and discard any creme smudges with the spatula, skewer or toothpick.
NoteIf you don't have a small round cookie cutter, you can instead use a melon baller or the large end of a pastry bag tube to carve out the creme. Or, you can use a small metal spatula to shape and scrape away the excess creme from the moons.
