Cornflakes Cookies
Cornflakes Cookies is a crispy, delicious cookie made by baking a dough made out of powdered corn flakes, butter and flour. Cornflakes Cookies are anytime joyous munch that is savoured by all and could be made easily. Cornflakes Cookies Recipe is presented in this post with step by step pictures.
Servings12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup maida / all purpose flour ~67 gms
- 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup cornflakes
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter ~50 gms
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar ~55 gms
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Crush the cornflakes (Both 1/2 and 1/4 cup together)coarsely or grind it in a mixer like I did. In a mixing bowl – add butter, vanilla essence and sugar.
- Beat it well with a whisk until fluffy and creamy.
- Sieve flour and baking powder twice at least.
- Now add the flour and 1/2 cup cornflakes and mix gently to form a soft dough. If the dough is too crumble add 1 teaspoon of water and knead it.
- After forming the dough refrigerate for 15-30 mins.
- Then take out the dough and roll it to a cylinder and cut into small equal pieces.
- Preheat oven to 170 deg C for 10mins.
- Meanwhile roll them into balls and slightly flatten them using your palms , now dip it in the cornflakes mixture (1/4 cup) so that it is evenly coated on all sides.
- Arrange the cookies in a parchment sheet / butter paper leaving 1 inch gap (the cookies don't spread much).
- Bake the cookies for 12-15mins keeping the tray in the middle rack or until the edges start browning.
- Enjoy Cornflakes Cookies - crispy on the outside and crunchy inside!
Notes
- If the cornflakes don’t stick to the cookie dough, take few drops of water in your fingertips, and coat the cookie dough ball with water and then roll in cornflakes. My dough was greasy so didn't add water.
- After 12mins keep an eye on the oven, if you overbake the cookies will become crunchy but the taste will be the same.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and cool on a wire rack. They will still be soft when they come out of the oven, but will firm up once they cool.
- If the cookie dough out of the fridge is too stiff, break it up into smaller pieces, add 1 tablespoon water, knead gently then roll them. Refrigerating the dough helps in retaining the shape and avoids spreading of cookies. Also it results in a more flakier cookies. But if you are in a hurry then just skip the chilling part and leave nice gap between the cookies and bake them.
- You can even add the cornflakes to a zip lock bag and roll with a chapathi roller to crush it roughly. You can also press cashews in each cookie.

SHARMILEE J

Jyoti Mohta
Hi..i tried the cornflakes cookies today..but with the above measurements my dough was so wet that i had to double the quantity of maida..any clue why ?
SHARMILEE J
Did you melt the butter? Other than that not really sure what went wrong…
Anusha Madhavan
Hi Sharmi,

They are tastier and crunchier than any store-bought cookie I have ever tried.
Great recipe and thanks a lot for sharing!!
Love all your SIMPLE + DELICIOUS recipes.. especially all the bakes are SUPER GOOD 🙂
Crazy
Sharmi,
I have been following your cookie recipes. My otg is Morphy richards 18ltr. Whenever I bake cookies using the baking tray, the bottom of the cookies get burnt in 5 mins. I have tried using baking sheet as well as aluminuim foil. Is there anything specific brand that use for lining?
Thanks,
Latha
SHARMILEE J
No I don't actually use lining these days just use the black tray as such for baking cookies…If you want you can use butter paper or aluminium foil..May be try changing the tray

Hi Sharmi, Can I use Kellogs cornflakes( the regular unflavoured one ) for this recipe?.
SHARMILEE J
Yes you can…I used the same too 🙂
Adesara Sweta
hello… I tried this cookies it came out awesome…crispyy.. can I use wheat flour instead of maida?
SHARMILEE J
Yes you can…
Neha
Hi, I made these with multi-grain flour and jaggery instead of sugar. They came out beautiful. Only thing is you will need to use more jaggery. Also you will need to add water to make the dough come together. Also I used the entire cornflour amount mentioned in the recipe plus for the coating I used more crushed cornflakes as required. These cookies were hit in my family and were devoured while they were still warm from the baking.
Sangeetha
Shall I use honey cornflakes.
Sharmilee J
yes you can use
Milly

Sharmilee J
No these cookies stay good atleast for a week in room temperature
Archana
