8 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 cup whole grain pastry flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
In a food processor, combine walnuts and 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Pulse until walnuts are coarsely ground but not made into a paste. Place in a large bowl, and stir in flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.
Place butter and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, orange peel and orange extract. Gradually beat in flour mixture until smooth and thick. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Divide dough in half, and form each half into a 12" log.
Place logs 5" apart on baking sheet. Slightly flatten each log to 1/2" high.
Bake 25-30 minutes, or until tops are firm to the touch. Remove from oven, and let cool on a rack for 3 minutes.
Using a serrated knife, cut each log diagonally into 1/2" thick slices. Place slices, cut side down, on baking sheet.
Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Turn slices halfway through baking. Cool on rack 2 minutes. Remove from sheet, and place on rack to cool completely.
