Cornmeal Cranberry Cookies
Ingredients:
| unsalted butter |
¾ cup |
at room temperature |
| white sugar |
¾ cup |
|
| vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon |
|
| whole egg |
1 |
|
| unbleached all-purpose flour |
1½ cups |
|
| coarse-grind cornmeal |
½ cup |
|
| baking powder |
¼ teaspoon |
|
| salt |
1 teaspoon |
|
| dried cranberries |
1 cup |
|
Procedure:
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in vanilla and egg and combine thoroughly.
- Stir in flour, cornmeal, salt and baking powder. Mix with paddle attachment on low speed until dough becomes one cohesive lump.
- Stir in cranberries until evenly distributed.
- Divide dough in half and form two logs, about an inch in diameter.
- Wrap logs in plastic and freeze or refrigerate.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- When dough is cool enough that it’s no longer sticky, slice about ¼” thick.
- Lay slices out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or silpat. You may place them fairly close together, as these cookies do not expand very much.
- Bake until edges are just beginning to brown, rotating once, about fifteen to twenty minutes.
- Transfer to wire rack immediately.
