Corn Cookies

It's been quite a while since I have done some baking. My best friend Jenny came back from NYC and visited one of Momofuku's Restaurant.

She had text me the day she arrived back to LA with a message, "Do you like corn?"

I didn't respond to her until 2 days later, "Yes, but not the jelly belly popcorn."

Jenny had gotten me two Corn Cookies from Momofuku, but since I responded days later, one of the cookies were consumed by her little nephew and her (that's how good it was).

I shared my cookie in half with David. David had placed his half of the cookie on the ledge of the table and our lovable dog Snoopy quickly snatched the cookie from him. Hence, I share the remaining 1/2 cookie with him and my lil' sister.

First bite, the cookie was soft, buttery, and have a nice flavor of 'corn.' Simply like a perfect butter cookie with corn flavor. The cookie wasn't a corn meal texture or anything, very delicious. Somehow, I felt as if there were actual corns on the cookie, but I do not recall. The yummy corn cookie reminds me of corn bread but with a smoother texture than corn bread. Mmm... therefore, I made an attempt to make a version of the Corn Cookies myself. Of course, it is not comparable to Momofuku's cookies, it is still a working process. Recipe below as follows:
