Ingredients
Cookies
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup (102.5 g) shortening
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (122 g) yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Frosting
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups (250 g) confectioners' sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons honey
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- honey, for drizzling
Instructions
Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter, shortening, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, honey, and vanilla.
- To the butter mixture, add the flour, cornmeal, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until the ingredients are incorporated.
- Using a ¼ cup (or 2 scoops of dough with a 2 tablespoon scoop), drop portions of dough onto the lined cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. (If using two 2-tablespoon scoops, combine the scoops of dough into one large cookie.)
- Using your hand, gently flatten each ball of dough.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes. (Do not overbake these cookies. They are perfect when slightly under-done. And over-baked cookie will be dry. Test the first batch to make sure 14 minutes is right in your oven.)
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack while you prepare the frosting.
Frosting
- In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, mix the butter, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of honey on low speed until the ingredients are incorporated. Increase the mixing speed to high and beat until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Adjust consistency with more honey if needed.
- Using an offset spatula, spread a small amount of frosting on each cooled cookie. Drizzle with honey.
