Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 cups corn flakes cereal
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup optional chocolate chips or raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Gently fold in 1 cup of the corn flakes, along with chocolate chips or raisins if using. Be careful not to crush the corn flakes too much.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each dough ball in the remaining corn flakes, pressing lightly so the flakes stick to the surface.
Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your crunchy, sweet Corn Flake Cookies with a cup of coffee or tea!
