Categories     Cookies     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups pine nuts, toasted
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus 1 cup for rolling
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus 2 teaspoons
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse together the nuts, flour, cornmeal, and salt until finely ground and smooth. Using a hand-held or stand mixer, beat together the butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a medium bowl until light and creamy. Add the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon zest, and vanilla and beat to combine. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 batches until just combined; be careful not to over-mix. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. In a shallow bowl, combine the remaining sugar with remaining zest. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Transfer the dough onto cookie sheets and bake until firm and very pale golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. While the cookies are still warm, roll each cookie in the sugar mixture. To achieve a solid coating, roll each of the cookies a second time in the sugar mixture.

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of butter next time I make them.

I've never been a big fan of lemon desserts, but these cookies changed my mind. They're so light and fluffy, and the lemon flavor is perfectly balanced. I'll definitely be making these again.

I followed the recipe exactly but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

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