This week, I'm doing something I've never done before! Woo! From April 22nd to April 26th, Julie of Natural and Free and I are
hosting a Spring Fling via a great little link-up
party! Link up anything spring-- recipes, crafts, gardening, spring
pictures... If it's spring-related, we want it (just no giveaways or other
link-up parties, please)!
This
week, I'm going to be posting a lemon-flavored recipe a day. I don't
know about you, but nothing says "Spring" like lemon! On Monday, I shared a recipe for to-die-for Lemon Creme Oatmeal Bars. Yesterday, wrote about Lemon Pepper Roasted Walnuts. Today, a sweet and savory recipe!
On April 27th, we will each feature our top three favorites! There is no limit to how many posts you can link-up, so feel
free to bring on the Spring fever with your amazing posts! We can't
wait to check them out!
Please note, this is not my original recipe. I found it on MyRecipes.com and it originated in Cooking Light. The edits are mine. Each cookie is just 55 calories (which is awwwwwesommmmmmme). I sent these to John as a breakfast option, but you can also eat them as a snack or even with a bowl of chili. Yeah, they're that versatile!
You'll Need:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking soda, salt, and ginger. Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed. Add egg and grated lemon and beat. Add flour mixture to butter mixture by increments until blended.
- Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons batter 2 inches apart cookie sheets. Bake 12 minutes or until lightly browned and almost firm (I found that this took about 10 minutes. 12 minutes turned them into brown disks.).
Those sound great, Jo! I am definitely bookmarking these for later. :)
