A corn cookie (or maize cookie) is a type of
cookie prepared with
corn products. In the
United States and
Indonesia, it is a type of
sugar cookie. Rather than
wheat flour, which is commonly used in the preparation of cookies, the corn cookie takes its color and flavor from corn products[1] such as
cornmeal.[2]
Like their traditional counterparts, corn cookies are often flavored with various herbs, spices, and fruits including
lemon verbena,
apricot, and
rosemary.[3] In addition to baking, corn cookies can also be prepared by using batter for making
cornbread and cooking it on a hot griddle.[4]
Corn cookies have been prepared by the
Sioux Indians in
South Dakota due to the abundance of corn in that state.[5]
