This crispy sugar biscuit is very unique. This cookie can be made as a refrigerator cookie or a cut-out cookie. If you dip this biscuit in melted chocolate, it tastes even better.

Reviews
These cookies are amazing. I have made them many times now. I love the crunch the cornmeal brings to them. If you want to try an adventurous version omit the orange zest and finely chop fresh rosemary to equal 1 tablespoon. So good if you are a rosemary fan. Very pretty too.
Made them today with raspberry filling on the half moon. They are very yummy
I used lemon zest and extract instead of orange. Delicious!!! Be sure to let them cool and harden a bit before removing from the pan!
Very good easy to make. I did the refrig method. Loved the orange in it.
Superb.. I loved the texture of these, the taste… everything! I made a bunch of cookies to take in to work, but these are NOT leaving the house!! All mine
This recipe was a bit of a let down. The taste is okay but it’s just not my kind of cookie.
