Cornbread Sugar Cookies with Honey Butter Frosting

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cups corn flour, this is NOT cornmeal, cornstarch or masa harina
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 recipe Honey Butter Frosting, recipe follows
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/8 tsp salt

Directions

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, corn flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together, then put the bowl aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter with the sugar until the mixture looks pale and airy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the egg and egg yolk, then mix in the sour cream, vanilla and lemon juice. Add the dry mixture gradually, mixing just until everything comes together. Scoop the dough in heaping tablespoon portions, roll into balls, set them on cookie sheets, and press each one evenly with your hands to about 1/2" thick. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Cool the cookies all the way before adding the Honey Butter Frosting.
