Cornmeal Sugar Cookies image

Cornmeal gives these crisp rounds a sandy texture that makes them an ideal cookie for ice cream sandwiches. They're also delicious all by themselves, or with a tall glass of iced tea or lemonade.

Yield Makes 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Granulated sugar for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Whisk together flour, cornmeal, cornstarch, and salt.
  • Blend butter, confectioners sugar, vanilla, and zest in a food processor until creamy, about 30 seconds. Scrape down side of bowl, then add all of flour mixture and pulse until dough just begins to come together.
  • Roll out dough on a well-floured surface with a well-floured rolling pin to 1/3 inch thick. Cut out as many rounds as possible with a 2-inch round cookie cutter or drinking glass and transfer to an ungreased large baking sheet. Reroll scraps and cut out more rounds. Sprinkle tops with granulated sugar.
  • Bake until undersides are pale golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.

These cookies are okay. They're not my favorite, but they're not bad either. I might make them again if I'm in a pinch.

I'm not a fan of these cookies. They're too dry and crumbly. I won't be making them again.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies came out a little too dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough.
