Grandma’s Mohn Moons

When we visited my grandmother’s kitchen as kids, we knew there would be some special treat around—her chocolate-and-walnut-covered banana cake, or these cookies, studded with poppy seeds. This recipe is based on one she hand-copied in the 1920s for kichlach (egg cookies). Because they’re pareve (made without dairy products), these cookies can be served after a meat meal by people who observe the Jewish dietary laws.
