CRUMBL cornbread cookies are thick, soft, and chewy cookies, topped with a smooth honey butter frosting and a generous honey drizzle. They are pretty much a cornbread in cookie form with a little extra sweetness.

Since you’re here, I know you’ll also love CRUMBL Waffle cookies with Buttercream Frosting, Chewy CRUMBL Churro Cookies, Crumbl Oreo cookies with buttercream frosting, The softest Crumbl Circus Animal Cookies as well as Better Than CRUMBL Cosmic Brownie Cookies.

Texture of CRUMBL cornbread cookies

These CRUMBL cornbread cookies are another discovery from the popular CRUMBL bakery. Who knew cornmeal cookies were gonna be such a satisfying treat!

I’ve always had regular polenta, or cornbread but never thought of making it into a cookie, but oh lord, am I glad I did!

These little cornmeal cookies are the most delicate little things ever. They are extremely soft and melt in your mouth. The best part is that they stay soft for a while after baking which is what I’m always looking for when I bake cookies!

This is the best Cornbread cookie ever!

After trying to make this recipe a few times, I was finally satisfied with the final result of these cookies. They have a sweet and salty taste so they’re not overwhelmingly sweet.

With each bite, you will notice a vanilla and buttery flavor that will remind you of your favorite cornbread. Those cookies are then topped with a honey drizzle and a homemade honey frosting on top. Everything that should be on top of a regular cornbread slice is on these!

I would even say that this would be a great memorial day dessert recipe. They are easy to make, yet so impressive when you add the honey buttercream and the honey drizzle on top.

If you are heading somewhere for memorial day or are hosting a little party yourself, I would strongly suggest you make these for everyone!

    Suggestions??? The taste was A+++ but they were so (no pun intended) crumbly. Crumbl tends to be denser, these practically fall apart. I followed the recipe exactly as written. Suggestions for making them a little denser?

      You can add a bit more flour or cornflour. Dry ingredients will make it dense, but make sure to do some trial and error because now you are changing up the recipe and things might not always go right.

    Okay, so I’m a crumbl cornbread cookie hater. But THESE? THESE WERE AMAZING!

    I ate mine at room temperature and it tasted just like cornbread. It was gritty, sweet, and the honey butter buttercream was a delicious touch. I also added extra honey drizzle which made them even better.

    My family (crumbl cornbread cookie lovers) ADORED these. They each ate like two or three, and want me to make it again ASAP. Thank you for this recipe! I hope you make more crumbl recipes soon, they are my favorite.
