How to Make Orange Cornmeal Coins

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the orange zest and extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the optional orange drink mix.
  7. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  8. Roll the dough into small balls (about ½ inch in diameter).
  9. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
