Polenta Cookie Logs Recipe

Polenta Cookie Logs

These cookies are crispy, slightly chewy, dense and have an intense flavour. It is similar to a shortbread but the polenta adds more crunch and a slightly different texture and flavour. Overall a very addictive cookie. Friendly warning - once you start you can’t stop!

If the dough seems dry and crumbly, don't worry. It will turn out fine during baking as the sugar and syrup do their work! If you concerned you can refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.

If you want to make the logs lighter, you can replace some of the butter with egg. I tried this recipe by substituting half of the butter with oil and it worked fine.
