Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a clean, dry bowl, use an electric mixer to whisk the egg whites and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to mix until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and the corn flakes with a spatula, ensuring the corn flakes are fully coated but not crushed.
Using two teaspoons, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving an inch of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the kisses are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
