The recipe for Tuesdays With Dorie today was chosen by Valerie from une Gamine dans la Cuisine.  She has written up a great post (and posted some fantastic photos) for these cookies—she also has the recipe.  Check it out because she said everything I was thinking of writing about the cookies!  I made them a couple weeks ago.  Love them.

These have a nice little crunch from the cornmeal and since they are shortbread they have a buttery tenderness.  The lemon zest kicked them up a notch, too.  A crunchy cookie with lots of butter that is pretty much only liked by me at our house is dangerous.  I’m glad I gave most of them away! ;)

Tuesdays With Dorie—check ‘em all out.

AnonymousHow cute is that box?? It reminds me of the box the local donut chain uses for donut holes (though their boxes aren't nearly as pretty) - yum :)

MaryYour cookies look perfect, and I wish I had been on the receiving end of that lovely package of cookies!
JacqueYours look perfect! I'm sure the non-bloggers don't understand us baking and then rushing to get the goods out the door, lol. (Just means we have lots of happy friends, family, and neighbors.)
AnonymousNothing better than a tasty cookie like this. I love how you managed to use organic ingredients to come up with a unique style. Great! Kind of reminded me of some of the meals here http://www.facebook.com/pages/Extreme-Chef/195324160502642
