It’s official, I’m in love with cornbread lately! I posted my recipe for Cornbread Pancakes with Honey Butter Syrup a few weeks ago (I’ve made them again twice since) and it got me thinking of everything else I could blend with classic cornbread, honey butter and all. Sugar cookies are a popular favorite, so I set out on a venture to turn my Simple Sugar Cookie Squares into a cornbread version.
I’m ecstatic that my experiment turned out so wonderfully! Sometimes I get one of these random food ideas and they are a total failure, but the ones that work keep me experimenting. These are truly some of my new favorite cookies. I love that they are so unique. I’ve never tasted a cookie like it, and they’re certain to interest everyone at your next gathering.
Cornbread Cookie Squares with Honey Butter Frosting
While these cookies have nearly the same texture as frosted sugar cookies, they have a flavor all their own: a sweet cornbread covered in creamy honey butter flavor. Fans of sweet cornbread as a traditional side dish will fall head over heels for this cookie and frosting version. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do! Oh and bonus they are even healthier than your average sugar cookie because the corn flour adds in whole grain, making them unintentionally healthier. I think they’d make a delicious breakfast too, but they probably won’t last long once you pull them out of the oven! These are so easy to make, so get going and make a batch!
