📝 Instructions

Step 1

In a ⚙ stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the 🧈 unsalted butter (225 g) and 🍬 granulated sugar (300 g) together on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes until pale and fluffy.

Step 2

Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the 🥚 egg and beat on medium-high for 7 to 8 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the 🍞 all-purpose flour (225 g) (or 🍞 bread flour for a taller cookie), 🌰 corn flour (45 g), 🌰 freeze-dried corn powder (65 g), 🌰 baking powder (3 g), 🌰 baking soda (1.5 g), and 🧂 kosher salt (6 g). Mix just until the dough comes together for no longer than 1 minute. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Use a 🥤 ⅓-cup measure to portion the dough onto a parchment-lined 🍪 sheet pan. Pat the tops of the dough domes flat with your palm.

Step 5

Wrap the 🍪 sheet pan tightly in 📦 plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 1 week). Do not bake from room temperature.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 7

Arrange the chilled dough at least 4 inches apart on parchment-lined pans. Bake for 18 minutes.

Step 8

The cookies are done when they have puffed, crackled, and are faintly browned on the edges but still bright yellow in the center. Let them cool completely on the 🍪 sheet pans before moving them.
