Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 oF. Line baking pans with parchment paper and set aside.
    2. In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground clove; set aside.
    3. In a large clean bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add honey, salt, egg, vanilla extract and mix 2 more minutes until well combined.
    4. Add the cornmeal mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
    5. Drop dough onto prepared baking sheets in tablespoons, placing cookies about 2 inches apart as the cookies spread as they cook.
    6. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Remove trays from the oven and transfer cookies to a cooling rack; let cool completely.
