Why You’ll Love This Recipe?

• Few Ingredients: all you need are a few staple ingredients readily available in any household kitchen, and you are good to go.

• Crunchy yet soft: the USP of the cookie is that it is crunchy on the outside, yet it has a soft texture. The cookies are coated in cornflakes well enough to have a crunchy layer once baked.

• It’s versatile: the base recipe of the cookie is so versatile that you can create many other variations. E.g., you can add any favourite nut or dry fruit.

Important Ingredients Used For The Recipe

• Egg: less than half an egg is used in the recipe, yet it plays a significant role. The egg provides the needed moisture and colour in the cookie. It also binds the dough well.

• Baking powder: although the egg itself is enough to provide some rise to the cookies, however, since these cookies are supposed to have a soft texture from the centre, baking powder is added to give the necessary rise in the dough.

• Vanilla essence: with an egg being in the recipe, it becomes almost necessary to add vanilla essence, or for that matter, any flavouring, to cover up the egg taste cookies may have.

How To Make Cornflakes Cookies?

• Mise-en-place: Gather all your ingredients on the workstation before starting with the recipe.

• Creaming: Start by beating butter and sugars together until the mixture is light, creamy and fluffy.

• Wet ingredients: Once creaming is done, mix the egg and vanilla essence and mix. Ensure to incorporate the entire egg into the butter mixture.

• Dry ingredients: It’s time to sift the dry ingredients, ie. Flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter-egg mixture. Combine to make the dough.

• Shaping: Take 40g of dough and make a ball. Flatten it a little bit and then roll it in slightly crushed cornflakes. Do the same with every cookie dough ball.

• Freezing: After coating all the cookies with cornflakes, place them on a lined baking tray and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.

• Bake: After the cookies have hardened, bake them in a preheated oven at 180C (OTG mode: lower rod + upper rod +fan) for 15-18 minutes or until you see browning of the edges.
