Blood Orange and Rosemary Cornmeal Cookies, From My New Cookbook
This is a recipe from my new cookbook memoir, Eating Again: The Recipes that Healed Me. The cookbook is coming out on February 8, 2022 with Helitrope Books.
These were some of my most successful quarantine cookies. When I took them to my friend Lydia, the daughter of a pastry chef from Naples, she asked me if she could buy a batch. And that’s when I began to realize I was onto something that made me very proud, and happy. Even though they are vegan, they are extremely buttery and crumbly like shortbread. The rosemary gives them a rustic, savory elegance that I love in a dessert. If these cookies were a building, they would be a warm mountain chalet, and the addition of the blood orange juice as a binder gives them a deep, penetrating, and unforgettable essence.
Rosemary-Lemon Shortbread Cookies
Rosemary Lemon Shortbread Cookies are the perfect combination of earthy and sophisticated. Buttery, sweet, but wonderfully tart on the outside, thanks to the lemon glaze.
