Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor and texture. Stale cornmeal can make your cookies dry and gritty.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients correctly. Too much or too little of any ingredient can affect the outcome of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make your cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting or decorating them. This will help the frosting set properly.
