Crunchy Cornflakes Cookies

Hi all!!

I am back again after 4 years and after 2 more children.. Hehe! 😅 This whole idea of consistent blogging is still a challenge for me but I will try again this time. Let's hope it will continue for a longer period of time before another hiatus! Hehe..

Yesterday, my 2 older girls and me baked some of the crunchiest cornflakes cookies everrrr and it is so delish too! A friend wanted the recipe so I was trying it out and tadaaaaa..perfect results!!

Look at the generous amount of cornflakes that have been added to the cookies!! 

The recipe is so simple that even my 5 and 3 year old girls could do it easily! Really loved to see how they worked together to place the paper liners onto the tray and then proceeded to place the rolled balls into the liners and pressing it down slightly, just like how they were told to do.

See how neatly they have arranged the paper liners? 😉

I only did the rolling and the girls did everything else on their own! So, so proud of them! 😊❤️

As simple as the recipe may be, the baking time is one thing to take note of though. It took me a total of 40 minutes to get really crunchy and crispy cookies coz I had rolled the dough and having a thicker centre, the cookies obviously needed a longer time of a whopping 40 minutes!

This was taken after 20 minutes of baking. Colour is still a little pale. Even though the exterior of the cookies was crunchy, I bit into a slightly chewy centre

So for those who prefer a slightly chewy texture, you can bake the cookies for 20 minutes but crunchy cookie lovers like me will have to be patient and clock in the golden 40 minutes to get the perfect cookies!

Now on to the recipe:
