In a large bowl, stir together flour, powdered sugar, cornmeal, thyme, and lemon peel. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons honey; do not stir. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling. Knead dough until smooth; shape dough into a ball.<\/li>\n<li class=\"recipe__direction\">On an ungreased\u00a0cookie sheet, pat mixture into a 9-inch square. Using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut into desired-size squares, but do not separate. If desired, sprinkle squares with coarse sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until bottom starts to brown and center is set. Remove from the oven. While still warm, recut the shortbread into squares. Cool shortbread completely on cookie sheet on a wire rack. If desired, drizzle a little honey and sprinkle coarse sugar over each cookie before serving and garnish with thyme sprigs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients 1 3\/4\u00a0cups\u00a0all-purpose flour 1\/2\u00a0cup\u00a0powdered sugar 1\/4\u00a0cup cornmeal 1\u00a0teaspoon fresh lemon thyme or thyme leaves, chopped 1\u00a0teaspoon\u00a0finely shredded lemon peel 2\u00a0tablespoons honey 3\/4\u00a0cup butter Coarse&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[12,13],"tags":[495,1994,1993],"class_list":["post-1628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cookies","category-dessert","tag-cookies-2","tag-lemon-thyme-shortbread-cookies","tag-shortbread","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/southernladycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Lemon-Thyme.jpg?fit=480%2C384&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7yoUc-qg","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1628"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1628\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1630,"href":"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1628\/revisions\/1630"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
