My sister Penelope made these cookies to add to a gift of homemade baked goods provided to the volunteers at her local library. Apparently everyone loved their zesty flavour and intriguing texture. There's nothing like a bit of intrigue to keep volunteers on board.
Ingredients for the Lemon Polenta Cookies:
- 1/2 cup finely ground cornmeal
- 1 and 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
- 1 and 1/2 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Sharing space with the remaining dates squares. |
While the cookies are baking, whisk together the lemon juice and icing sugar. Drizzle over the baked cookies.
