How to Make It
1. Step
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Step
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high for 3–5 minutes, until well combined and pale yellow. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg and vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed for 5–7 minutes more, until light and fluffy.
3. Step
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Step
Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the dry ingredients. Mix just until the dough comes together. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
5. Step
Use a rubber spatula fold in the freeze-dried corn.
6. Step
Using a large (4.6-ounce/#6) scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly. Freeze for 30–60 minutes.
7. Step
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
8. Step
Bake the chilled cookies until golden around the edges, but still soft in the centers, 18–20 minutes.
