Cookies didn’t spread at all – look like scones – no flavor – waste of time and money!!!

In reply to Cindy. Hi Cindy, I'm not sure what happened! It could be a difference in the gf flour, or a slight difference in your flour measurement vs ours. Did you bake the dough right away after mixing it together? Chilling it would also reduce spreading.

I made these using KAF Measure for Measure gluten free flour, all other ingredients exactly as written in the recipe. Similar to another reviewer’s experience, they did not spread or flatten out at all. They came out like chewy scones. Still enjoyable but not as expected. I used scoop and level method for measuring the flour.( A 1/4 cup scoop yielded only 10 cookies, not 12.) This flour is typically interchangeable with regular flour with minimal or no change in flavor/texture. Any idea as to what went wrong?

Yum! These were exactly what I was looking for, and they came out perfectly! I only had medium grain cornmeal, and ran it through the food processor and sifted out the biggest pieces to get more of a fine grain based on some of the reviews. Could have been overkill, but they turned out great. I also added 1/4 tsp vanilla extract because we like vanilla and lemon together. I used all lemon as that’s what I had. No other modifications, and the temp & time were spot on. I baked half of them in our air fryer toaster oven at 325* for 11 mins with convection (the built in “cookie” setting) and those also turned out perfectly. When I make these again, I’ll probably make them smaller and top with a lemon glaze. Thanks for sharing!

Can you use lavender instead of the poppy seeds?

Didn’t like this recipe. The cornmeal makes the cookie taste “grainy” even when I used fine cornmeal and the sea salt left you biting down on large pieces of salt.

These have a delicious flavor, but I wish the recipe had specified fine cornmeal. I used a medium/coarse cornmeal that I use for cornbread and the texture of the cookies was kind of gritty. Not pleasant to chew. Next time…

In reply to Jeanine Donofrio. I add an extra egg and 1/4 cup more olive oil. This is the 3rd time making them. Seems to do the trick
