Instructions
Cookies
* Add ⅓ cup cornmeal to a bowl and set aside.
* In another bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of cornmeal, flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
* Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
* In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer), beat together the butter, sugars, and honey for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
* Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
* Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
* Use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop to drop heaping scoops (about ¼ cup) of dough onto the baking sheets, adding no more than 6 cookies per sheet.
* Roll the cookies through the cornmeal, the place them back onto the baking sheet. Press the cookie down gently with the bottom of a cup to flatten slightly.
* Bake for 11-14 minutes until the edges are set and the centers still look quite doughy, then smack the cookies on the counter a few times to help them fall.
* Note: Fight the urge to continue baking the cookies past the 14 minute mark.
* Place the baking sheet on a wire rack and cool the cookies on the baking sheet for the entire time until completely cool.
Honey Buttercream
* Beat together the butter, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, kosher salt, and half of the powdered sugar until a paste forms. Add the rest of the powdered sugar and add 1 tablespoon water at a time until spreadable. Spread onto the cookies and top with flaky sea salt.
