Cornflake Cookies
Crisp cornflake cookies are simple to prepare and they taste so good. These have added appeal from coconut and oats to make them extra-satisfying and tasty.
Servings: 25 cookies
Equipment
- Baking Sheet Large
- Cookie Scoop 1½-Tablespoon
Ingredients
- 1 Cup all purpose flour spooned and leveled
- ½ Teaspoon baking powder
- ½ Teaspoon baking soda
- ½ Cup salted butter at room temperature
- ⅔ Cup white sugar
- ⅓ Cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 egg at room temperature
- ½ Teaspoon almond extract
- 1½ Cups Cornflakes heaping
- 1 Cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ Cup sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and use parchment paper to line a large cookie sheet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and baking powder together.
- In the bowl of a stand or hand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, white sugar and brown sugar on a medium speed for 3 or 4 minutes or until fluffy.
- Next mix in the egg and almond extract.
- Slowly mix in the flour mixture on the lowest speed, taking care not to overmix.
- Mix in the cornflakes with a spatula, along with the oatmeal and coconut flakes, to make a thick batter.
- Using a 1½-Tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookies and arrange them on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and set.
- Cool on a cooling rack and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Don't overmix: Mix in the flour using a low speed and don't overmix (overmixing will lead to dense cookies).
Get creative: Feel free to add anything you want to these - creamy peanut butter, mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, or nuts.
Use a spatula: Don't use the hand mixer when adding the cereal, oats and coconut flakes because they'll break up into powder. Use a rubber spatula or flat wide metal spoon instead.
