Ingredients

8.5 oz corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy)
4 tablespoon butter cool room temperature butter (not melted or overly soft)
2 large egg yolks room temperature
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, see notes)
¼ cup sugar (optional, see notes)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 cookie pans with parchment paper.
Put the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.
Scoop 24 cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 min or until golden brown around the edges.

Notes

Mix: Different brands of corn muffin mix can affect how much the cookies spread. For best results, use Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix.

Butter: Using butter that is melted or too soft causes cookies to spread. It is important in this recipe to avoid over-softening the butter.

Cornstarch: If your cookies tend to spread too much, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. This helps the cookies hold their shape and creates a softer, slightly thicker texture.

Sugar: We have made these both with and without added sugar.

For a slightly sweet cookie, do not add any sugar.

For a lightly sweetened cookie, add two tablespoons of sugar, and chill the dough.

For a sweeter cookie, you can add ¼ cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, and chill the dough.
