Crunchy Cornflake Cookies

I seem to somehow have ended up with 2 large opened boxes of cornflakes which need using up before they start going stale, so I decided to make some Cornflake Cookies with some of them the other day - these are another great lunchbox filler, and a hit with both kids and adults alike ! (I love dunking these into a nice cuppa tea ?????..)


Crunchy Cornflake Cookies

½ cup Butter
1 cup brown (or white) Sugar
1 Egg, beaten
2 tbsp Milk
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
2 cups Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
pinch of Salt
2 cups Cornflakes (reserve 2 tablespoons for decorating)

Cream the butter and sugar together until light & fluffy, then add the beaten egg, milk and vanilla essence and stir to blend well. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the mixture and stir to blend a little, before adding the cornflakes. Mix to combine. Roll the mixture into small balls, pressing each one down lightly with a fork to flatten as you go along (dip the fork in flour to prevent sticking). Press a few cornflakes in to the top of each cookie before baking at 190?C/375?F/Gas Mark 5 for around 15 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Makes around 35 cookies.
