Ingredients

  • ½ cup dairy-free butter, softened to room temperature (1 stick; i.e. Country Crock plant butter)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup yellow cornmeal
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In another large mixing bowl, cream together the dairy-free butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the honey, egg, and vanilla, and mix until well combined.
  4. In another medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
  6. Portion out the cookie dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheets using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop (or just heaping spoonfuls). Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies no longer look wet on top.
  7. Let cool on the pan, then enjoy.

Recipe Notes

  • Be sure the butter is softened, not melted, and be sure the cookie dough ingredients are well combined. Melted butter and improper mixing with pockets of butter can lead to excessive spreading of the cookies.
  • If you run into issues with spreading, try chilling the dough for 30-60 minutes prior to baking.
  • Note that some dairy-free butters, especially tub versions, have a higher moisture content that don’t work well for cookies. I recommend using either Country Crock plant butter sticks or Earth Balance sticks for best results.
