This is one of my favorite cookies. They go well with a cool drink on a warm afternoon. It's time to get some goodies baked and stashed away in the freezer before it is way to hot to even light a match!
TRUE GRIT COOKIES
The cornmeal creates an interesting texture while the citrus give these cookies an unusual perk.
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.
