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
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon Honey - Optional for flavor boost
  • ¼ cup Buttermilk or milk - For adding moisture
  • 1 teaspoon Butter extract - Optional for flavor enhancement
For Glaze:
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Milk or cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon Honey - Optional, for sweetness

Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowls (For mixing wet and dry ingredients separately)
  • 1 Electric mixer (For creaming butter and sugars)
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons (For precise ingredient measurements)
  • 2 Cookie sheets (Parchment paper lined for easy baking and clean-up)
  • 1 Cookie scoop or spoon (For even cookie portioning)

Method
 

  1. Beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. This step helps incorporate air into the dough, creating a soft texture.
  2. 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.
  3. Scoop the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet. This ensures uniform cookies that bake evenly.
  4. Bake the cookies at 350°F for 12-15 minutes. The edges should be golden, and the centers slightly underdone.
  5. Mix powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and honey to make the glaze. Drizzle or dip the cookies in the glaze for a sweet finish.
