Chocolate Chip Cornflakes Cookies

I have decided to start this particular blog again.
It helps me to stay focus and hopefully improve my skills in many areas.

For 2013 Chinese New Year, I baked quite a fair bit.
Cornflake Cookies was one of those baked.
So I am going to share the recipe here.























What you need:

  • 120g butter, cut into cubes at room temperature (I used salted butter)
  • 50g icing sugar
  • 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 135g all purpose flour
  • 30g corn flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 100g corn flakes
  • 80g chocolate chips


What you do:

  • Place corn flakes in a bag and crush them into smaller pieces.  Do not crush them too finely.  Set aside.
  • Place butter in a mixing bowl and sift icing sugar over it.  
  • Beat the butter and icing sugar till the mixture turns pale.
  • Add in the eggs slowly as you continue to mix.  Mix till combine.
  • Sift flour and corn flour over the mixture.
  • Fold the mixture with a spatula until flour is combined.
  • Add in cornflakes and chocolate chips.  Mix till combined.
  • Arrange mini paper liners on baking tray.
  • Using a spoon, spoon a lump into each cup. (I used a melon baller, so it comes out in a rough round shape)
  • Bake in preheated oven at 170 degree celsius for 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before storing in air tight containers.

I have adapted the recipe from Happy Home Baking.  
She used cranberry instead of chocolate chip.
I may just try that another time.
I also have another recipe with is dairy free.
If anyone is interested, please let me know.
