Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, and salt to combine. In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter with brown sugar and 1/3 cup granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat until smooth.
- Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture, beating just until combined. Spoon a scant 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) dough into each cup of a mini muffin tin. Firmly rap tin against a counter a few times to ensure dough reaches bottom edges of each cup. Flatten tops with your fingers.
- Bake until cookies are golden brown and set, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in tin 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon. Flip cookies out of tin. Working with a few at a time, toss cookies in cinnamon sugar to evenly coat; transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. (Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.)
