Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups white whole-wheat flour
½ cup cornmeal
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ cup dried apricots, chopped
2 tablespoons crystalized ginger, finely chopped
1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheet.
In large bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, ginger, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, vanilla and almond extract. Slowly add flour mixture and beaten eggs, apricots, crystallized ginger and walnuts. Add the butter; mix together. The dough will be wet and crumbly. Knead with your hands to combine. Divide dough in half.
Roll each portion into a 14-inch log, place on baking sheet. Can be refrigerated overnight at this point. Bake for 30 minutes, or until set. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 250 degrees F.
Transfer cookie log to cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice into ½-inch cookies. Return the cookies to the baking sheet, and bake 20 more minutes. Remove for oven and allow to cool.
Notes
Substitute dried cherries or figs for the apricots.
