1/2cup Butter
1+1/2cup All purpose flour
1+1/2cup Yellow cornmeal

Hi Priya, I made your recipe because I liked the higher cornmeal ratio, lighter sugar and fat content (compared to other recipes). However, the recipe as written seems to be missing liquid - could you check your notes? I added an egg and other fluids to make a workable dough that I split 4 ways and flavoured each differently. The flavour and texture were all very nice but none of my cookies spread like yours. At 350F they were done in 12 minutes (1 Tablespoon scoops). I'd like to re-try your recipe again if indeed there were missing ingredients. Thanks very much! May

@Anonymous Actually this cookies doesnt need any liquid as its completely like butter cookies.I didnt missed any of the ingredients. Hope this helps.
