Chef Joey's Vegan Cornmeal-Thyme Cookies image

The original recipe comes from Martha Stewart, but it wasn't Vegan. I really enjoyed these savory cookies, they are really delicious with a cup of ice tea in the summer and warm tea in the colder months. The cookies are very soft when they come out of the oven, so it is best to transfer the whole piece of parchment from the cookie sheet onto a cooling rack to prevent them from breaking.
