Cornmeal Cookies
Author: Becky Coleman — Published: Jul 09, 2011 at 2:26 pm 0 comments

I adore cookies, and lately I've been cooking more cookies than I can possibly eat, freeze, or give away. Knowing this, I was still up before six this morning baking a new batch of cookies. This time it's Cornmeal Crispies, adapted from the Betty Crocker Cookie Book.

Nobody does a cookie better than Betty Crocker, and this cookie is particularly unique. Cornmeal Crispies, made with either white or yellow cornmeal, are spectacularly crispy yet sweet. For added deliciousness, spread pepper jelly between two cookies to make a sandwich!

3) Stir in remaining ingredients. I highly suggest folding in the flours with a wooden spoon; otherwise the flour will fly!
