Lemon-Cornmeal Sheet Cookie image

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.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup fine ground yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon anise seeds
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Coarse salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg white, lightly beaten for egg wash
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, anise seeds, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in whole egg and zest. Reduce speed to low, and beat in flour mixture.
  • Press dough into an even 1/4-inch thickness on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash; sprinkle with almonds and remaining tablespoon sugar. Bake until golden, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Break into pieces.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll probably reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.

I found the dough to be a little too wet, so I added a bit more flour. Other than that, the cookies turned out great.

I love the combination of lemon and cornmeal in these cookies. They're a great way to use up leftover cornmeal.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon, but these cookies were still really good. The cornmeal added a nice texture, and the glaze was the perfect finishing touch.

These cookies were a hit with my family! I added some dried cranberries for a little extra tartness, and they were perfect.
