Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cornmeal plus extra 1/3 cup for rolling
  • 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cup powdered sugar
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt in a mixing bowl.

3. In a separate bowl, beat the butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and honey until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

5. Roll the dough into balls and roll them in the extra cornmeal. Place on prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

6. For the honey buttercream, beat the butter, honey, cinnamon (if using), salt, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached.

7. Spread or pipe the honey buttercream onto cooled cookies and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Notes

Using room-temperature butter and eggs will help create a smooth, creamy dough and frosting.

Carefully measure your ingredients, especially the flour and cornmeal, to achieve the right texture.

If you prefer a crunchier cookie, add a bit more cornmeal to the dough before baking.
