[Guest guest]

Two more cookie recipes. I rarely make cookies any more, except to bring

to work, because of all the butter in them.

Cornmeal Sandies

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup cornmeal

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter or margarine -- (2 sticks)

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

Additional sugar

 

Makes: 6 1/2 dozen; serves: 16 to 20

 

These are very delicate-tasting cookies and the cornmeal really does give

them a " sandy " feel. I like to make the dough ahead of time and freeze it

in logs. Then, when unexpected company arrives (or more likely, when I'm

running too late to make a " real " dessert from scratch), I pull out a log

or two and bake them up.

 

1. In a medium bowl or on a piece of waxed paper, stir together the flour,

cornmeal, and salt. In a large bowl, cream the butter or margarine with

the 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Beat in the cornmeal mixture.

 

2. Divide the dough in half and form into two 10-inch logs. Cover each in

waxed paper or plastic wrap; chill 1 hour or until firm (or freeze for

later use).

 

3. Preheat the oven to 350F.

 

4. Slice the logs into pieces 3/16 inch thick. Place on ungreased baking

sheets. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until slightly browned on the bottom.

 

5. While the cookies are still warm, roll in additional sugar to coat.

Cool on racks.

 

Variation: Blue Sandies: Use blue cornmeal for a more exotic-looking cookie

(it will taste the same).
