These cookies have an Italian-inspired taste and an American texture. The flavors of lemon, polenta and rosemary may remind you of biscotti, or a lemon-polenta cake, but the cookies are as crisp-edged and chewy-centered as they come. The recipe uses Sarah Kieffer’s pan-banging technique, which requires quite a specific dough-ball size and wide spacing on the sheet pan to work. Make sure each round of dough is 3 ounces, and don’t bake more than four balls on one pan. These giant cookies are even better when they’ve cooled slightly — they become chewier and the rosemary emerges.
Ingredients
  • 4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • Juice of ½ lemon (about 1½ tablespoons), plus zest of 4 lemons
  • 1½ cups/180 grams all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup/90 grams cornmeal, preferably medium-grind for polenta
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) or ½ teaspoon fine salt
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup/227 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1½ cups/300 grams granulated sugar, plus ¼ cup/50 grams for coating
  • 1 large egg
