Cornflake Cookies
Description
Cornflake Cookies start with a dough made from flour, oats, butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla, providing a flavorful and slightly chewy base. Adding cornflakes last gives these cookies a light crunch and a subtle cereal flavor that stands out from typical cookies. Optional additions like chopped pecans and chocolate chips introduce contrasting textures and complementary flavors.
Baked at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until golden at the edges, the cookies hold a set center with crispy edges. The balance of ingredients makes these cookies suited for snack time or dessert.
When storing, keep them in an airtight container for a few days or freeze for longer freshness. Freezing preserves their texture well and enables convenient later enjoyment without loss of quality.
Ingredients
- 1.25 c flour
- 1 c oats quick cooking
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ c butter
- 1 c brown sugar
- 1 egg well beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1½ c corn flakes
Optional:
- 1/2 c pecans chopped
- 1/2 c chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then stir in the oats.
- Cream butter, add sugar gradually. Mix until light. Add beaten egg and vanilla. Mix thoroughly.
- Add flour mixture and stir until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts if desired. Last, lightly stir in corn flakes.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough and drop on cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet, then move to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Freezing maintains cookie freshness better than room temperature storage over longer periods.
