Apricot-sage Cookies Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Notyourmomma / All my dishes 1 year, 12 months ago Best in Show, 2004 I had a lot of trouble with this cookie. The dough a bit crumbly and I had to add more milk to get it to stick together. Also, even with chilling, rolling it to 1/8-inch thick was tough; I ended up making it thicker and had to bak...

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup yellow cornmeal

1/2 cup butter

2 tablespoons snipped fresh sage, lemon thyme or rosemary,

or 2 teaspoons dried sage or rosemary, crushed

3 tablespoons milk

1 egg white

1 tablespoon water

Fresh sage leaves (optional)

Sugar

2 teaspoons apricot preserves

Directions

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar and cornmeal. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling.

Stir in herbs.

Add milk and stir with a fork to combine.

Form mixture into a ball and knead dough until smooth.

Divide dough in half.

On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough at a time to 1/8-inch thickness.

Using a 21/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out dough.

In a small bowl, combine the egg white and water.

Brush half of the cookies with the egg-white mixture.

Place a small sage leaf or two on each cookie, if desired.

Brush leaves with egg-white mixture.

Sprinkle with sugar.

Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake in a 375-degree oven about 7 minutes, or until edges are firm and bottoms are very lightly browned.

Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool.

Snip any large pieces of fruit in preserves.

Spread apricot preserves on the bottom of each cookie without a sage leaf.

Top preserves layer with a sage leaf-topped cookie, bottom side down.

Makes 16 (21/2-inch) sandwich cookies.

These sound lovely! My sage just got all snowed on, but it is one tough plant and I have a feeling I still have some nice sage underneath all of the snow and ice. What a nice addition to a cookie tray!
