Mark Bittman's Maple Cornmeal Cookies

I recently discovered Mark Bittman's wonderful maple cornmeal cookies. These drop cookies are so simple to make and they can be served with a myriad of things: tea, espresso, ice cream, or on their own for a delicious and nostalgically New England treat!

The trick with these cookies is to undercook them in the oven. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes on the cookie sheets, and then carefully transfer them to racks to cool and set, and this way the cookies retain their oh-so-wonderful chewiness. Homemade cookies are marvelous anytime, but they have a specialness in winter — just the process of baking cookies fills the kitchen with delicious smells and warms the soul.

Here is a link to the recipe.

Happy cookie baking!
