Cornmeal-Sage Thumbprints
Ingredients
  • 1
    18 ounce package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 3/4
    cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2
    teaspoon dried sage, crushed
  • 1/2
    teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
  • fresh sage leaves
  • apricot preserves or orange marmalade
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together one 18-ounce roll or package refrigerated sugar cookie dough; 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal; 1/2 teaspoon dried sage, crushed; and 1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel until combined. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheet. Press your thumb into the center of each ball to make an indentation. If desired, place a very small fresh sage leaf into each indentation. Fill each indentation with about 1/4 teaspoon apricot preserves or orange marmalade.

2. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are lightly golden around edges. Cool for 1 minutes on cookie sheet. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Makes about 40 cookies.

This cookie is extremely easy to make, beautiful to see, and one of the best cookies you'll ever eat! I took some small leaves off my sage plant in my garden to put in each thumbprint, and I used an apricot spreadable fruit. It has a nice subtle lemon flavor...just a wonderful surprise cookie! I made a batch to take to a pot luck last night. I am making another batch right now, in fact!
