Chocolate Cornflake Slice & Cornflake Cookies

Joy, oh joy, I have my oven back in action!!  I have all my appendages back in action!!!



A rainy weekend, what is a girl to do (particularly when her oven has been out of action) - BAKE of course!!!



In the interests of school lunches I set to to make a few treats!!



I had purchased a packet of corn flakes at some point to make something - don't actually remember what now, so I thought I must make something to use these up - pulled out the ancient Women's Weekly Beautiful Biscuits Cookbook (circa .... well let's not admit!!!) went to the cornflake section - and there they were - they were called Weekender Biscuits - but I say into the new millenium - they are now Cornflake Cookies!!!!







Cornflake Cookies





Makes approx 24



125g butter

1/3 cup sugar

1 egg

2/3 cup sultanas

1 cup self raising flour

2 cups lightly crushed cornflakes





Preheat oven to 180C.



Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the egg, beat well.  Fold in the sifted flour and sultanas . mix well.  Drop teaspoonfuls of mixture into the cornflakes, roll lightly.







Place onto a baking tray that has been lined with baking paper (make sure you allow room for spreading).







Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden.



Allow to cool on trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.







Now, I did not use all of the crushed cornflake crumbs - and there was still a lot left in the box, so I decided to convert an old favourite - Weet Bix Slice - into Corn Flake Slice!!
