Tish Boyle; a traditional cookie from the Piedmont region of Italia. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened |
2/3 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 large egg |
1 large egg yolk |
coarse sugar, for sprinkling |
Directions:
1. Position oven rack in the center of oven; preheat oven to 350°; grease two baking sheets.
2. In a bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, and salt together; set aside.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla on med-high speed until light, about 2 minutes.
4. Beat in the egg, then the egg yolk, beating well after each addition; scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
5. On low speed, add flour and mix just until blended.
6. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
7. Moisten the palm to prevent sticking, and flatten each ball into a 1 1/2 inch disk.

9. Transfer to wire rack and cool completely.
