Steps:
- For the cookies: Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a food processor, pulse together the butter, sugar, and lime zest until combined. Add the egg, lime juice, and vanilla. Process until smooth. Add the rice flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Process until the mixture forms a dough. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 20 seconds. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly flour a work surface. Cut the dough in half and roll out each piece into a 9-inch diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut the dough into 10 circles and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough, knead together, and roll out to 1/4-inch thick. Cut out 2 additional rounds of dough and place on the baking sheet. Bake until light golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- For the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lime zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the glaze onto each cookie leaving, a 1/4-inch border around the edge. Allow the glaze to harden for about 45 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- In an electric mixer, with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar until light, Add egg whites, extract and zest and beat until blended well. Combine dry ingredients and add to the mixing bowl on low speed. Mix until almost blended. Remove bowl from mixer and stir gently to finish blending. With a 2 fluid ounce scoop (1/4 cup), scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and flatten slightly with damp fingers. Sprinkle tops of cookies with a generous amount of granulated sugar. Bake 18 to19 minutes, until just beginning to brown around the edges. Let cool on cookie sheet 5 minutes, then remove cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
LEMON-CORNMEAL SHEET COOKIE
Think of these sweets as deconstructed biscotti. The cookies have a similar flavor, but here the dough is pressed into a single flat sheet for faster baking and then broken into jagged pieces.

Steps:
- Using a stand mixer, food processor or a large bowl and handheld mixer, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in lemon zest, almond extract, whole egg and egg yolks until well incorporated.
- In a medium bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.
- Add flour mixture to butter mixture to combine, then fold in pine nuts and mix thoroughly, taking care not to overwork the dough. (The dough will be rather soft and sticky.)
- Divide dough in two, and, using plastic wrap, form each half into a log about 1 inch in diameter. Refrigerate for 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Slice cold dough into 1/2-inch pieces. (Each slice should weigh ½ ounce/15 grams.) Place slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet 2 inches apart. Press 2 or 3 pine nuts into the surface of each slice. Bake 13 to 15 minutes, until barely browned. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.

Steps:
- 1. Whisk the flour, cornmeal, black pepper, if using, and salt together in a medium bowl.
- 2. Beat the butter, sugar, and zest in a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beginning on low speed and increasing to medium-high speed, until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and beat to combine well. Reduce the speed to low, add the flour mixture, and beat on low speed just until blended; the dough will be crumbly.
- 3. Press the dough together with your hands and divide it in half. Place each half on a sheet of wax paper and form each piece into a 10-by-1 1/4-inch log. Smooth each log with dampened fingers. Chill the logs, wrapped in wax paper, for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
- 4. At least 25 minutes before baking, position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter 2 large nonstick baking sheets.
- 5. Cut each log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and arrange the rounds 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, for 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool.
"ACCIDENTAL" LEMON CORNMEAL COOKIES
These cookies were created by accident,while trying to come up with a granola bar recipe using yellow cornmeal. Oh well,the granola bars never made it,but this is what came out of it.There is nothing extravagent about these simple and humble cookies,but they are sure to satisfy a sweet tooth craving.They are soft,slightly sweet, and delicious.When I first made them,I did not expect anything special,but we liked them so much ,that we couldn't stop eating them.Oh, and one more thing,they do not have any sugar in them other than honey,so you will not feel as guilty eating them :)

Steps:
- In a medium pan ,heat the honey with the lemon zest and lemon juice for about 5 minutes.Add the cornmeal and puffed wheat and continue stirring for another 5 minutes or until everything is well combined and the honey is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.At this point,I usually refrigerate the mixture (atleast an hour ) in order to allow the flavours to set in and blend together.It's also easier to work with this way because it will not be as sticky after refrigeration. If you decide to proceed with the rest of the steps immediately,then I think it would work as well,although I haven't tried it before. At your own risk :).
- In a separate bowl,combine the flour,salt,and baking soda and mix well.Gradually add this to the cornmeal mixture and work with you fingers breaking the mixture down until it resembles bread crumbs.
- In a separate dish,lightly beat the eggs and combine with the melted butter.Now slowly pour this into the cornmeal /flour mixture until well incorporated.I found it easier to work with my hands as the dough will be stiff and still a bit crumbly at this point.
- Finally,add the milk ,a tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds it's shape well and could be easily shaped into cookies.
- The first time I made these cookies,I simply shaped them into 1 inch balls and flattened them on the baking sheet.However,the second time around, I used a different technique ,which saved me a lot of time and which I found to be much better.What I did ,is I took some of the dough and rolled it ( approximately 1/4 inches thick) on a parchment paper right on the baking sheet ,until it covered most of the baking sheet forming a large rectangle.Then I sliced it into small squares and baked.
- Bake these cookies at 350 degrees F for about 10-13 minutes.
- After baking,if using the second technique for shaping the cookies,you will need to use a knife or a dough cutter to separate the cookie squares ,as they might stick to each other a bit.
- Let the cookies cool completely and store in a sealed container.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour and the next 4 ingredients (through ground ginger); stir with a whisk. Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes). Scrape sides of the bowl occasionally. Add egg; beat well. Beat in grated lemon rind. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, and beat at medium-low speed just until blended.
- Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons batter 2 inches apart onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes or until lightly browned and almost firm. Remove from oven. Cool on pans for 2 minutes or until firm. Remove from pans. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh lemon zest. If you don't have a zester, you can use a microplane grater.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape.
Conclusion:
These lemon cornmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and tangy snack, give these cookies a try!
