Yield Makes 1 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar, plus 1 teaspoon for sprinkling
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal, plus extra for dusting
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced into 4 rounds

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Add the yolk and mix to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add them to the egg mixture and stir just to combine. The mixture will resemble coarse crumbs. Add 1 tablespoon of cold water to bring the dough together. Wrap in plastic and freeze for 1/2 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Dust the countertop with cornmeal. Using your fingertips, press the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness about 8 inches around, and cut into desired shapes. Gently run a knife under each shape to remove and place on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle sparingly with sugar. Bake until golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove the biscuits to a wire rack to cool. Arrange 2 cookies and a slice of kiwi on each of 4 dessert plates. The remaining cookies will keep, tightly covered, for up to 3 days.

The biscuits were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.

These biscuits were easy to make and turned out great! I used fresh kiwi and the flavor was amazing. My kids loved them too.

I was skeptical about the combination of cornmeal and kiwi, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe! The biscuits were moist and flavorful, and the kiwi added a unique sweetness and tartness. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cornmeal biscuits with kiwi were a delightful surprise! The biscuits were light and fluffy, with a slightly sweet and tangy flavor from the kiwi. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. I served them with butter and honey,
