Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, and sugar thoroughly ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  3. Cream butter and incorporate dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter, mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Shape the dough: Form the dough into small cookie-sized portions and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly apart.
  5. Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the dough.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • If you prefer a sweeter cookie, increase the sugar to 3/4 cup.
  • Be careful not to overbake to maintain a tender inside texture.
