Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter, softened (no margarine allowed)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • note: if using almond extract, i use a little less.
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tsp salt
  • note: in the summertime i like to add a dash of fresh lavender that i have chopped so very finely. these are also lovely with a wee bit of lemon zest.

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  2. Mix butter, sugar and vanilla together in a large bowl until creamy.
  3. Add pecans, parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
  4. Note: this is where I add the fresh lavender.
  5. Blend well.
  6. Add flour, cornmeal and salt.
  7. Blend.
  8. Form into 12 rounds and flatten with your hands.
  9. Place them on a greased baking sheet or a Silpat mat.
  10. I like to sprinkle a tiny bit of granulated sugar on top of the cookies before baking.
  11. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the cookies are a light golden colour.
  12. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
  13. If these cookies aren't eaten right away, they will keep well in an airtight container for a couple of days.
