Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 15 servings

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 large egg yolk

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3/4 cup cornmeal

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal

Directions

  1. Beat butter, brown sugar, and honey together on medium-high speed with an electric mixer for 5 minutes. Add in egg yolk, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix for 1 minute. Add in flour, 3/4 cup cornmeal, baking powder, and baking soda and mix until just combined.

  2. Mix 2 tablespoons white sugar and 1 tablespoon corn meal together in a small bowl.

  3. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the dough and roll into a ball. Roll dough ball into the sugar-corn meal mixture until thoroughly coated. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.

  4. Chill dough balls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  6. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. 

  7. Bake in the preheated oven, one pan at a time, until cookies are crackled and begin to turn very light golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
