Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups cornflakes
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Seasoning and Leavening Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat your oven to exactly 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine 1 cup softened butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 cup granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat these ingredients until they form a creamy, smooth consistency.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the butter-sugar mixture and pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend thoroughly until everything is well incorporated.
- Whisk 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt in a separate bowl to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture into your wet ingredients, stirring until a cohesive dough forms without overmixing.
- Gently fold 3 cups cornflakes and 1 cup chocolate chips into the cookie dough, ensuring they are distributed throughout.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slide sheets into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 11 minutes, watching for edges to turn golden brown.
- Remove cookies from oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- Crush cornflakes slightly before adding to maintain some crunch and prevent them from becoming too soft in the cookies.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and ensure your cornflakes are gluten-free.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them fresh and crisp.
