This recipe is from the Martha Stewart's Cookies cookbook. She writes....Thyme serves as a savory counterpoint to these sweet, soft, and chewy tea cookies. Cornmeal and dried currants add additional texture and flavor.
Ingredients:1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup dried currants (I didn't use, couldn't find them)
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs one at a time. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture until just combined. Mix in currants and thyme.
Drop rounded tablespoons (I used teaspoons) of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until pale golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer cookies on parchment to wire racks; let cool. Cookies can be store in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days. Makes about 3 dozen. (I got 5 dozen)
Have you read the book yet?........still reading, it's wonderful:)

Sounds like a great cookie and I just planted thyme in my garden:@)
I like a cookie with cornmeal in it. I also just planted some lemon thyme -- what a seductive scent! Joni
This does sound like an interesting cookie with unusual ingredients! Thank you for posting this recipe :)
This post reminded me of a tea party hosted by a good friend - she made these cookies and they were quite tasty. Happy FF.

Now that's an interesting cookie. I've never had a cookie with cornmeal in it. It's something I will have to try. Have a great weekend!

These would make a great appetizer cookie! I have a hard time finding dried currants too. Maybe Craisins would work.
Nice to try something a little unique in the cookie department; I'll have to try these. Your Mother's day flowers look beautiful:)
I have Martha's Cookie book, but haven't tried this. What a timely posting! I'm off to buy some herbs for this year's garden and will put lemon thyme on the list.
P.S. Don't you just LOVE Gone with a Handsomer Man? I read it last week and now can't WAIT for the sequel!
