enjoy this giant cornbread cookie with a honey
frosting and honey drizzle. 🌽🐝

Cookie Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs 

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups flour

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal

2 teaspoons baking powder

Frosting Ingredients:

1/2 cup salted butter, at room temperature

2 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

additional honey for drizzle

Method:

In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugars until well blended and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing to combine after each addition. Mix in the honey and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, corn meal and baking powder.  Gradually add to the butter mixture. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.

Refrigerate for 15 minutes or longer.

Preheat oven to 350*. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Scoop 1/4 of a cup of dough and roll into balls. Place six balls on each of the prepared baking sheets.

Slightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hand. 

Bake for 14 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the frosting, beat the butter until fluffy. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar. Mix in the honey and vanilla.

Divide the frosting evenly between the 12 cookies. (Pipe or spread on top.) Drizzle the tops with a tiny amount of additional honey. Makes 1 dozen giant cookies.

Notes These cookies are delicious ~ not overly sweet and impressive.
