Polenta Cookies

 

 
It seems we've making basic cookie dough the same way since the dawn of time, but one cool chef told Tonia about a different kind of snack.  Gina Del Palma with Mario Battali's restaurant Babo in New York City says you can make cookies with Polenta.  Del Palma, the author of Dolce Italiano says you can make Zaletti cookies with instant polenta in almost no time!  Just add butter, flour, sugar egg-anything you might add to cookie dough, into the mixer.  It should take no more than 10 minutes.  Once you have the dough, shape it as desired.  Del Palma recommends diamonds!
