Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 ^oF. Line baking pans with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground clove; set aside.

5. Drop dough onto prepared baking sheets in tablespoons, placing cookies about 2 inches apart as the cookies spread as they cook.
