Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled) 

1 cup yellow cornmeal 

1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, very soft 

3/4 cup sugar 

1 large egg 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, lemon zest, and salt.

In a large bowl, mix butter, sugar, and egg until combined. Gradually add dry ingredients until moistened.

Pinch off and roll dough into balls, each equal to 1 1/2 tablespoons; place on 2 baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. With fingers, flatten balls to 3/4-inch thickness.

Bake until lightly browned around edges, 20 to 25 minutes; transfer to racks to cool completely.
