Tried making these cookies and they especially popular during the Autumn and Winter months. Loved by children and adults, make sure to double or even quadruple the batch. Anything left over can be easily frozen and reheated by putting them in the oven at 350 Fahrenheit. Bake the cookies for a while longer to make them even crispier. This recipes was originally from Darshana Thacker over at Forks Over Knives.

- 1 cup of cornmeal

- Use a 1/4 cup measuring scoop or a large rounded tablespoon to shape the batter on the prepared cookie sheets. Space the dough roughly 2 inches apart and squish down gently so they look flat. The cookies will not flatten much more during the baking process. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes until the desired texture is reached.
