Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet set over medium heat; cook the beef with the garlic until no traces of pink remain. Set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour and cornmeal. Stir in the beef mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef stock, oil and egg. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until well blended.

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough about 1/2” thick and cut into heart shapes with a cookie cutter or 1”x2” strips with a knife. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until springy to the touch.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies (depending on their size). Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freeze.
