Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Cornbread Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the cold butter with sugar and honey on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
  6. Shape the dough into balls and roll each in sugar before placing on lined baking sheets.
  7. Freeze the dough balls for at least 2 hours to retain shape while baking.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are soft.
  9. Cool the cookies on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
