Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
- Whisk together cornmeal, flour, and salt. Beat butter, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer at medium speed, scraping down side of bowl occasionally, until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in egg and yolk until combined well. Reduce speed to low and add cornmeal mixture in a slow stream, mixing until just combined. Form dough into a 5-inch square and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 7-inch square (1/2 inch thick). Score dough in one direction with tines of a fork. Following scored marks, cut into 8 equal strips, then cut strips in half to form rectangles.
- Bake on an ungreased baking sheet until bottoms of cookies are pale golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will ensure that your cookies have the best flavor and texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they bake evenly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting or decorating. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting or running.

Cornmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday celebration. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your cornmeal cookies turn out perfect every time.
