Cornmeal Cookies with Apricots and Lemon Thyme

Labels: { , }

A crunchy cornmeal cookie recipe from Martha Stewart studded with dried apricots and fresh lemon-thyme. Lovely to go with a cup of tea or serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as a light dessert.

Cornmeal Cookies with Apricots and Lemon Thyme

adapted from Martha Stewart
  • 240 g All purpose flour
  • 180 g Yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 220 g Unsalted butter, softened
  • 160 g Sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 100 g Dried apricots, diced
  • 3 tbsp Fresh lemon thyme, finely chopped
  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs, one at a time. Add flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Mix in dried apricots and lemon thyme.
  3. Using a tablespoon or a 1 1/2-inch ice-cream scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto lined sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake, rotating and switching positions of sheets about halfway through, until pale golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer cookies, on parchment, to a wire rack. Let cool completely.

They not only look lovely but sound healthy and delicious. Too bad I don't have any lemon thyme this year, just couldn't find it anywhere to buy.

One of my favorite cookie recipes has apricots in it. These look great, Angie. Love the idea of herbs in cookies and have never made any with cornmeal. I like the texture when you bite into anything with cornmeal.

Lemon thyme is my favorite herb in the herb garden so I'm always looking for ways to use it. Just yesterday I ate a fresh apricot laced with a few leaves of lemon thyme. It was delicious! Therefore, I know I would love these cookies! Very unusual, but great flavors and texture!
