Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Corn flakes cereal
• 0.5 cup Optional: Chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently fold in the corn flakes cereal and any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts.

Step 6

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your palm.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
