How to Make Lemon Cornmeal Cookies Cooking Light

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly spoon 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour into a dry measuring cup, level with a knife. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup cornmeal, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  6. Stir in the zest of 1 large lemon.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients (from step 3) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons (about 1 ½ teaspoons) of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
