Easy Cornflake & White Choc Chip Cookies

by | Jan 18, 2015 | Baking, Biscuits/Cookies, Recipe | 10 comments

Growing up Mum nearly always made cornflake cookies with the leftover cornlakes lying at the botton of the box. Once the free toy was gone, we weren’t interested in them all that much. We did love the cookies though but I always find them so cumbersome to make, having to roll in cornflakes. While baking, they usually fall off so I don’t bother making them.
My son has taken quite a liking to cornflakes lately (plus a couple spoonfuls of sugar sprinkled on top I might add) so I’m lucky if I get a few leftover at the bottom of the box. The cookie tin was empty, I had some white choc chips in the pantry so a blast from the past and these cornflake cookies were made.  I found rolling spoonfuls of cookie dough into balls with the cornflakes already mixed in gave a much nicer cookie with a subtle crunch. The addition of white choc chips made them a little more decadent too. Any type of chocolate would work well. This is a great recipe for the kids to get involved.

    My mum used to make something the same with cornflakes and sultanas. Thanks for sharing this great recipe at Good Morning Mondays and for the reminder of this memory. Blessings
