is corn flour the same as corn meal?
Similar. Corn meal is a slightly coarser grind. I stick with corn flour when the recipe calls for it. Had a bad experience trying to use corn meal in replace of corn flour.
I didn't have corn flour in the house and just used 1 1/3 cup flour. The cookies turned out great and were a huge hit with the group I served them to. These are delicious and are really pretty cookies when you decorate them with different colors of sugar.
I just made these cookies, and they are delicious! My whole family really enjoyed them, and they were very quick and easy to make. Perfect size, too.
Can you freeze the dough?
What a hit! A wonderful addition to the cookie recipes, we often use. Very refreshingly lemony. The cookie had a really great texture to them as well. The Rosemary just added that little extra flavor. Would go excellent with some fresh iced tea.
Followed directions exactly and they turned out terrible! They didn't spread out or rise in the oven, and they didn't hold together. Awful.
Chris, it sounds like you over combined the dough.
