Soft Cornmeal Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is creamy and light.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing well until everything is combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
  6. Scoop tablespoons of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look soft, but they will continue to set as they cool down.
  8. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving to add a touch of sweetness and elegance.
