Tuesdays with Dorie: Cornmeal Shortbread Cookies

If you are looking for a crunchy, buttery, sweet little cookie to serve with tea, Cornmeal Shortbread may your thing. A pop of citrus zest adds extra flavor (I used orange), and that little bit of grittiness from the cornmeal boosts the crumbly texture typical of shortbread. I’m glad to have a stash of extras in the freezer!

For the recipe, see Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan or read Une Gamine dans la Cuisine, as it was Valerie’s pick this week. Don’t forget to check out the TWD Blogroll!

Love the shape and color of your cookies! Mine wound up quite pale for some reason.

That’s a great idea! I made a half recipe and I think I’ll freeze the rest. Thank you.
They are interesting and I kind of like the “cornmeal crunch.”
Nicely done.
How’s your house?

What an interesting sounding combo! I’ve never thought to put cornmeal in a shortbread before, but it sounds good!
