Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in any optional mix-ins, like chocolate chips or dried cranberries.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
Chill the dough if it feels too sticky to prevent spreading during baking. Customize the flavor with mix-ins like chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or a drizzle of maple glaze.
