Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a stand mixer, cream together ½ cup softened salted butter, ½ cup brown sugar, and ½ cup white sugar on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ cup honey to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup cornmeal, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
- Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using an ice cream scoop, portion out roughly 12 equal balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden.
- While the cookies are cooling, beat together ½ cup slightly cold butter, ¼ cup honey, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons heavy cream until smooth.
- Once your cookies are completely cool, generously spread the honey buttercream on top of each cookie.
