These Summer Berry Cornmeal Cookies are chewy, crunchy, sweet and tangy - and irresistible! 

I wish I recalled exactly where and when the inspiration for these cookies struck. I don’t know why I thought cornmeal cookies sounded like a good idea, but once I started doing some research, I found that I wasn’t alone. As it often goes with my recipe inspirations, I knew what I wanted to achieve, and I was more than a little surprised when I nailed it the first time. I made these cookies several more times and shared them with others to make sure I wasn’t delusional in how incredible these cookies are - I wasn’t. They’re amazing. 

They’re like a tender sugar cookie, but the added cornmeal gives them a slight crunch throughout the dough. The chewy dried blueberries and strawberries add even more texture, and the flavors all pop with the bright lemon zest added in. The cookies are rolled in granulated sugar before baking, giving them even more crunch and a little extra sweetness. I do recommend dried berries, not fresh, to maintain the right moisture and texture for these cookies. Dried blueberries and strawberries can be found in most dried fruit section or bulk sections of grocery stores.

Seriously, these Summer Berry Cornmeal Cookies are incredible. They might be contenders for my top five favorite cookies I’ve ever made! I really hope you’ll make them and share them with friends!
