APRICOT, SAGE, AND CORNMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the mixer running, add the egg, mix to incorporate, and scrape once more. In a bowl, sift the flour with the baking soda and salt and add to the mixer along with the cornmeal. Mix on low speed until just combined. Add the apricots and sage and mix to combine. (Don't worry if the dough is slightly sticky.) Shape it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and chill several hours. Remove dough from the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper greased with nonstick vegetable spray. Pinch off pieces of dough the size of large marbles and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow the cookies to spread. Bake until light golden brown around the edges, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. *** Generally speaking, I like my baked goods a little darker than the average person. I cooked the second batch of these until they were solid golden brown around the edges and liked them even better.
