Ingredients

• 175 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 200 grams Cornflakes cereal
• 100 grams Optional add-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, raisins)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and egg to the creamed mixture, and beat until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

Gently fold in any optional add-ins, such as chocolate chips or raisins, if desired.

Step 6

Place the cornflakes cereal in a shallow bowl. Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten the dough ball slightly, then press it into the cornflakes to coat completely.

Step 7

Place the coated cookie balls onto the prepared baking trays, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your delicious Cornflake Cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
