With simple pantry ingredients and a quick prep time, this recipe delivers both convenience and irresistible flavor.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the cornflakes cereal and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the center is still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your crispy cereal cookies with a glass of milk or as a standalone treat!
