Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Cornflakes (lightly crushed)
- 50 grams Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Gently fold in the lightly crushed cornflakes and optional chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and crunchy.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies once they are fully cooled, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
