Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- ½ cup Granulated sugar
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Butter (softened)
- 2 large Eggs

For Glaze:
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon Milk or cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Honey - Optional, for sweetness
Instructions
- Beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. This step helps incorporate air into the dough, creating a soft texture.
- Mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add them to the wet ingredients to form the cookie dough. This builds the structure and flavor of the cookies.
- Scoop the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet. This ensures uniform cookies that bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies at 350°F for 12-15 minutes. The edges should be golden, and the centers slightly underdone.
- Mix powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and honey to make the glaze. Drizzle or dip the cookies in the glaze for a sweet finish.
