14 September 1959 - SPACECRAFT LANDS ON THE MOON: Two days after 
launching, the Soviet Union's space probe 'Luna 2' crash-lands on the 
moon's surface near Mare Imbrium in the Palus Putredinis region. The 
spherical spacecraft becomes the first man-made object to reach another 
celestial body, and the first of many future moon visitors.

 Categories: Snacks, Cookies, Chocolate, Dairy
      Yield: 24 Moon pies
 
    1/2 c  Butter; softened
      1 c  White sugar
      1 lg Egg
      1 c  Evaporated milk
      1 ts Vanilla extract
      2 c  All-purpose flour
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Unsweetened cocoa powder
  1 1/2 ts Baking soda
    1/2 ts Baking powder
    1/2 c  Butter; softened
      1 c  Confectioners' sugar
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract
      1 c  Marshmallow creme
 
  Set oven @ 400+|F/205+|C.
  
  Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
  
  TO MAKE COOKIE CRUSTS: In a large mixing bowl, cream
  together 1/2 cup butter and white sugar. Add egg,
  evaporated milk, and vanilla. Mix well. 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.
  
  Drop the dough onto greased cookie sheet by rounded
  tablespoonfuls. Leave at least 3" in between each one;
  dough will spread as it bakes.
  
  Bake in preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until firm when
  pressed with finger. Allow to cool at least one hour
  before filling.
  
  TO MAKE MARSHMALLOW FILLING: In a medium mixing bowl,
  blend together 1/2 cup butter, confectioners' sugar,
  flavored extract, and marshmallow creme. Mix until
  smooth.
  
  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.
  
  NOTE: In the south RC Cola is the preferred beverage
  to accompany a Moon Pie.
