Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 175 grams self-raising flour
- 3 cups cornflakes
- 100 grams optional: chocolate chips or raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter, light brown sugar, and golden syrup over medium heat, stirring until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the self-raising flour into the saucepan and mix until a soft dough forms.
Gently fold in the cornflakes, being careful not to crush them too much, until they are evenly coated in the dough. If using chocolate chips or raisins, stir them in at this stage.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion the mixture into small mounds onto the prepared baking trays, leaving some space between each cookie for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden and set around the edges. They will still be slightly soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the trays for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
