These simple shortbread-like treats use plenty of butter.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for shaping

  • ½ cup yellow cornmeal

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, and salt; set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until smooth. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture, mixing just until combined.

  3. Drop dough by heaping tablespoons, about 2 inches apart, onto two large baking sheets; flatten slightly with floured fingertips. Bake until edges are golden, 14 to 16 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies immediately to a wire rack; let cool completely.
