Baking Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat for about 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  3. Sift in all-purpose flour, cornmeal, and baking powder. Mix gently on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Once chilled, scoop out the dough into equal-sized balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and bottoms are light golden.
  8. Let the cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. To prepare frosting, beat together softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, vanilla, and milk until smooth and creamy.
  10. Once cookies have cooled, spread the frosting on each cookie and optionally drizzle with extra honey.
  11. Serve and enjoy your Honey Buttercream Cornbread Cookies!
