Servings: 50 cookies
Calories: 46kcal
Ingredients
- 150 g all purpose flour
- 25 g corn starch (about 4 level tablespoons)
- 125 g butter
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 100 g cornflakes
- 1 egg yolk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°Celsius.
- Line baking trays with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, cream butter and sugar until creamy.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Beat again until the traces of the egg yolk are no longer visible. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Sift the corn starch, all purpose flour, baking powder and salt into the creamed mixture.
- Mix until the dry ingredients are well incorporated. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Add in the cornflakes and mix them in with the mixer. This will help to crush the cornflakes into the cookie dough. If mixing by hand, break the cornflakes lightly as you mix the cookie dough.
- Form the cornflakes cookies into about 1 tablespoon sizes. Roll them into balls (by hand) and place them slightly apart on the lined baking trays.
- Flatten the cookie balls lightly with a fork or your fingers.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes until the sides turn light brown. Remove cookies from the oven and cool them over a wire rack.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to retain their crispiness.
