Ingredients

• 120 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 180 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 120 grams Cornflakes, slightly crushed
• 50 grams Rainbow sprinkles
• 50 grams White chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat the egg into the creamed mixture, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the crushed cornflakes, rainbow sprinkles, and white chocolate chips (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed in the dough.

Step 7

Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, form 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Gently press down on each cookie dough ball to slightly flatten them for even baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the centers slightly soft.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Once cooled, serve and enjoy your Crunchy Birthday Cookies with a tall glass of milk or as a festive party treat!
