Cornmeal Cookies
These cornmeal cookies are perfectly chewy with soft centers! Browned butter enhances their sweet corn flavor for a deliciously unique cookie flavor.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- small saucepan
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick/4 ounces)
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour see note for gluten-free
- ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. (This is not a typo!)
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter. Let it melt and then begin to sizzle and pop. Once it starts to sizzle, stir occasionally, and watch it until it begins to turn light brown and the milk solids begin to brown. Immediately transfer the browned butter to a mixing bowl.
- Add the white and brown sugar to the mixture. Stir until combined.
- Add the egg and yolk to the mixture and stir until combined.
- Add the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and kosher salt to the mixture and stir until a cookie dough forms. It will be somewhat softer than traditional cookie dough.
- Line a sheet pan with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to scoop seven cookies onto the sheet pan, giving them space to spread.
- Bake for 9 minutes. The edges should look golden brown and the middles should look slightly underbaked. They set up as they cool!
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookies cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring them. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough.
- You should get 14 cookies.
Notes
Gluten-free: Swap the all-purpose flour with Bob's Red Mill's 1 to 1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour. You can find it at Target, Walmart, or on Amazon.
