Thanks a lot; these are absolutely delicious cookies
I had some corn meal leftover from some Asian recipe, and neither Danish (my origin) or Dutch (where I live) food culture includes it. Then I found your recipe – just perfect!

You are right about over beating the dough – it just needs a quick whizz and some “finger power”.
I had to add just a little extra moist to get the right consistency probably due to too small egg yolks.

The 2 remaining egg whites and the lemon zest can be used for the following cookies from a Danish cookbook:

—-
“Mandelmakroner”
200 g almonds (or hazelnuts)
3 dl sugar (the powdered kind – I forgot the English name)
2 egg whites
lemon zest of one lemon (or the remains from the Cranberry Cornmeal Cookies)

Grind the almonds/hazelnuts fine and mix in the sugar and zest. Beat the egg whites stiff and mix them gently into the mix.
Put the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet using two tea spoons. Keep a good distances between them. Bake the cookies for 10-15 minutes at 175 degrees Celsius.
Move the baking sheet off the baking plate and allow to cool before gently removing them.
Sprinkle with a little additional sugar.
Keep the cookies in a air tight tin, but remember to put baking paper between or they will stick.
They taste absolutely phenomenal with ice cream

I love cornmeal in pancakes too! Wheat germs is another good addition. They both add such a hearty, satisfying dimension to ordinary flapjacks.

This cookies are lovely! I especially like the colors.
