cookies were easy to make, easy to keep. nice to have on hand, make balls and freeze to bake as needed. liked the currants soaked in cointreau. polenta gives the cookie a little added texture.

Everyone has really liked these cookies. It is hard to believe that such a small amount of cormeal could impact the cookies - but I think the taste and/or texture are a bit different because of it. In a good way.

I used 1.5 cup of currants, 3 cups of flour, and 1 cup of polenta. So far so good, I have yet to pass them around to the family to taste test them. I like the interesting consistency due to the polenta, but they are buttery. A nice addition to a cookie plate - it would add texture and flavor.

I would add another cup of raisens. I could not find currants. Suggestion: Let raisens dry out for a few hours before soaking in Grand Marnier. I cant wait to make them again.

My family & I baked several batches of cookies and sent to relatives over the holidays. By far these were the best, with the recipe requested by several people who tried them. These will definitely be part of my cookie repertoire for years to come!

I made these and used currants. To add some sizzle, I made a thin frosting flavored with orange liqueur and drizzled over after taking out of the oven. I sent some out to my daughter who is an excellent cook and she also liked them. I will definitely make again.

Should it be called a polenta cookie? No. Does it deserve all the harsh words from people who didn't try it? No.

I tried them last night. My mix never looked curdled, but the consistency did seem about right at the end. The cookies came out slightly cake-y in the middle, with crispy edges. I did have to bake them a little longer, about 16 minutes to get them to brown (maybe just my oven. I used craisins instead of currants, they were just easier to find. The recipe is easy to follow.

I am on the verge of hiding them because my husband has torn through them; he says they are his favorite out of the 5 types of cookies I baked this year. The polenta does give them a little bit of a different texture, and the orange flavor is bright and contrasts well with the craisins.

Not sure what cookies the previous people are making - but mine turned out great and tasty - a big hit when served to friends and family.... This recipe is a keeper and I will be making them again....
