Cornmeal Coconut Cookies image

These cookies are delicate and crispy, like biting into a crunchy slice of sweet cornbread. You can add vanilla instead of the rum. I just did that to compliment the shredded coconut, and it worked like a charm.

Time 35m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ¼ cups butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 cups finely-ground cornmeal (such as Goya® Fine Yellow Corn Meal)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 lime, zested
½ cup shredded coconut
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon coconut-flavored rum (such as Bacardi® Coconut™)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease several baking sheets, or line with parchment paper.
  • Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl until the mixture is soft and creamy. Beat in the egg until well blended. Stir in the cornmeal about 1/4 cup at a time, stirring to blend well after each addition, then stir in the flour, baking soda, lime zest, coconut, salt, and rum until the mixture forms a soft dough. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges just turn golden, 8 to 12 minutes, and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets before removing. Cookies are very fragile when warm.

I found that these cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These cookies are a bit crumbly, so be careful when you're handling them.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover cornmeal. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.
