Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened for dough
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 tbsp honey for dough
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract for dough
  • 0.25 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 0.75 cup fine yellow cornmeal
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt for dough
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened for frosting
  • 1.5 cup powdered sugar for frosting
  • 3 tbsp honey for frosting
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract for frosting
  • 0.125 tsp fine salt for frosting
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream as needed for frosting
  • 1 tbsp honey for drizzling, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
  • Cream softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until very fluffy, 2–3 minutes.
  • Beat in honey, egg, vanilla, and sour cream until smooth and combined.
  • Add dry ingredients to the bowl and mix on low just until no dry streaks remain.
  • Scoop 1/4-cup portions of dough, roll into balls, and gently flatten into thick discs.
  • Bake 10–12 minutes until edges set and tops look matte; centers should be soft.
  • Cool cookies on the sheet 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Beat frosting butter until creamy. Gradually mix in powdered sugar, honey, salt, and vanilla.
  • Stream in heavy cream until spreadable. Swirl frosting onto cooled cookies and drizzle with honey.

Notes

Try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the frosting or finish with flaky sea salt for sweet-salty contrast. Store frosted cookies airtight at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate up to 4 days; bring to room temp before serving.
