Book Description

Who hasn’t mixed up a batch of homemade cookies at least once in their lifetime? How irresistible it is to pull a batch of cookies or brownies from the oven and dig in before they’re even cool enough to handle. What a shame that such a great pleasure should be overshadowed by guilt over consuming too much fat and too many calories!

Cornmeal Maple Pecan Twists
Recipe from: One Smart Cookie
by Julie Van Rosendaal
Cookbook Heaven at Recipelink.com

Makes: 2 dozen

  • 1/2 cup pecans

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 1/4 cups flour

  • 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup stick margarine or butter, softened

  • 1 large egg white, lightly beaten

  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

  • Icing sugar for dipping

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Place the pecans in a food processor with a few spoonfuls of the sugar, and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl and add the remaining sugar, flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.

  3. Add the margarine and mix until you have a coarse meal. In a small bowl, combine the egg white and maple syrup. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until combined.

  4. Pinch off 1-1 1/2-inch pieces of dough and roll into 4- 5-inches long ropes. Shape each rope into an "S" shape and place about 1-inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

  5. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden on the bottoms. As soon as they come out of the oven, dip cookies in icing sugar to coat before placing on a wire rack to cool.
