Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup dried currants
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Whisk together flour, baking soda, cornmeal, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • 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, 1 at a time. Add flour mixture; mix on low speed until just combined. Mix in currants and thyme.
  • 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. 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.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover cornmeal. They're also a nice change from the usual chocolate chip or oatmeal cookie.

I'm not a huge fan of cornmeal, but these cookies were really good. The thyme flavor is subtle but it really complements the cornmeal.

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

I've never baked with cornmeal before, but these cookies turned out great! They're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a subtle thyme flavor.
