Method
 

Cookie Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream together the unsalted butter, honey, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and kosher salt. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick dough forms.
  3. Portion dough into balls using a 1/4 cup measuring scoop and roll in extra cornmeal. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, flatten slightly, and space about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake for 11-14 minutes, until golden around the edges but slightly doughy in the center. Cool completely on baking sheets.
Frosting Preparation
  1. Beat together the softened unsalted butter, honey, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of kosher salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with milk if necessary.
  2. Spread honey butter frosting over cooled cookies. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
