I love to cook and bake and am always looking for new and interesting ways to change or improve my recipes. This recipe has an interesting use for corn meal which makes for a good cookie that goes well with milk for the children or a well-deserved cup of tea for me!
True Grit Cookies
The cornmeal creates an interesting texture while the citrus give these cookies an unusual zest.
½ cup butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
Grated zest of two lemons and two oranges
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
Beat butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in egg, vanilla and zest. Add flour, cornmeal and baking powder until completely blended. Shape into rolls directly on sheet of waxed paper. Chill for at least two hours. May be kept up to three days in refrigerator.
Unwrap dough. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1/8-inch slices. Place about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake in a 325-degree oven until pale gold, about ten to 15 minutes. Makes about four dozen cookies.
