Cornbread Chocolate Chip Cookies with Zulka Sugar

The lovely folks over at Zulka Pure Cane Sugar offered to send me a bag to try with my baking. Who am I to decline a bag of sugar? Upon opening the four pound bag, I could tell that this sugar was different. It was more coarse than normal white sugar and had that grainier texture that I love so much in sugar. Think of Sugar in the Raw granules cut in half and you’ve got yourself Zulka.

This isn’t just normal sugar. It’s “all natural products made directly from the sugar cane plant by using the latest technologies applied to proven century old processing concepts. These techniques result in products that have natural taste, color, and aroma derived directly from the Cane Plant.”

It’s some high quality sugar that made a difference in my baking. Just look at it.

The natural sugar taste makes it great for baking, stirring into coffee, and straight up eating from a spoon (guilty!).  I used Zulka to make cornbread chocolate chip cookies.

This was my first time experimenting with baking a box of corn muffin mix into something besides muffins, but it definitely won’t be my last. Even though these cookies turned out a little flat, the taste was spot on.

The corn muffin mix definitely gives these cookies the gritty and chewy taste that you get from eating a corn muffin, so be aware of that if you don’t like cornmeal. The Zulka sugar gave these cookies the perfect amount of sweetness. I’ll just have to play around with baking soda/baking powder and the flour ratio in order to get a thicker cookie.
