Ingredients
- 125 grams butter (chopped into blocks)
- ½ cup caster sugar (superfine sugar) (110 grams)
- 1 egg (70 grams)
- 1 cup SR flour (160 grams) (or 1 cup plain/all purpose flour + 2 teaspoons baking powder)
- pinch cinnamon
- ⅔ cup sultanas or choc chips
- 2 cups cornflakes (80 grams)
- 1 ⅓ cup extra cornflakes (for rolling)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to moderate (170 degrees celsius / 340 degrees fahrenheit, fan-forced).
- Line three baking trays with baking paper.
- Beat the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add egg and mix and beat again until combined.
- Using a wooden spoon or similar, fold in flour and cinnamon (sifted together), followed by the choc chips (or sultanas) and then the first measure of cornflakes.
- Place the second measure of cornflakes in a baking dish and crush a little, ready to roll your cookies.
- Roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls. Roll each ball in the crushed cornflakes to coat the outside.
- Place balls onto the baking trays, leaving enough room for cookies to spread.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a golden brown colour.
- Allow to cool on trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- Storing: They should last up to a week if stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
- Freezing: Freeze the baked cookies in an airtight container for up to a few months. Defrost overnight at room temperature before serving.
- Nutrition: The nutrition information is an automatically generated estimate and is not guaranteed to be accurate.
- Tips:
- I use a hand mixer to make the cookies so I’m not tempted to overbeat in a stand mixer.
- This recipe creates a cookie that’s a bit crunchy and a bit chewy – which means it’s perfect in my book! But if you want crunchier, just bake a little longer. And for softer and chewier, bake a little less.
