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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cookies.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, and sugar until evenly mixed for a uniform texture.
  3. Cream Butter and Mix: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Shape Cookies: Form the dough into small cookie-sized balls or rounds and place them spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, until the cookies turn lightly golden around the edges.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the dough.
  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a better cookie texture.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a tender crumb across the cookie.
  • These cookies pair wonderfully with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
