Favorite Masa Cookies
You know when there is a certain item on a menu you frequent that you order over and over again? It’s these masa cookies from Centro in Minneapolis. These masa cookies are chewy on the inside and have a little crunch on the outside thanks to rainbow sprinkles. And, when I say they are my favorite cookie in Minneapolis, I mean they are my favorite! So? Linley set out to make a dupe of these cookies so you could all try them too! Enjoy.
What is masa harina?

It has a distinctive flavor and texture that is different from other types of cornmeal or wheat flour. Masa flour is usually available in the specialty or international sections of grocery stores or can be purchased online.
