Cornmeal Cookies with Guava Paste

Ingredients:

2 cups fine cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

1 cup milk

½ cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

1 tablespoon baking powder

200 g guava paste, cut into small cubes

Instructions:

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, milk, and oil until well combined. Add the cornmeal and flour, mixing until a firm, moldable dough forms. Gently fold in the baking powder last.

With lightly greased hands, shape small portions of the dough into balls or discs and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Press a few cubes of guava paste gently into the top of each one.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly golden on the outside while still soft inside.

A simple recipe, full of tradition and perfect for everyday moments.
