Cornflake Cookies
Cornflake cookies ... very yummy! Nothing very new but I have not bake this before so I gave this a go this morning and this bake is surprisely crunchy and a real delish. Think my kids and her friends will finish the whole lot this afternoon.
I got this recipe from my first aunt last new year and haven't given it a chance to surface. Running out of ideas so I flash through my 3 big files of collected recipes and found this piece of hand-written recipe, must have jotted it down during our phone conversation. Of course, being an inobedient and adventurous lady I tweaked her recipe 'cos her's is a commercial one. Now! Here you go, a very nice and crunchy tweaked cornflake cookies recipe!

1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
50g cornflakes

Hi Florence,
I just encounter your Blog and found it very helpful and also found recipes that I am looking for too. Just like you I love baking and making desserts but when it come to the 3 main meal forget about it. While going through your Blog I notice there were questions about cake flour. You could purchase cake flour at major US grocery store. It is called SoftaSilk Cake Flour by Phillsbury. Comes in a box. For more information about Softasilk Cake Flour go to http://www.pillsburybaking.com/prodPromo/faq.aspx?id=203 or check it out at www.safeway.com site. You could also make your own cake flour (2 tablespoons cornstarch in measuring cup. Fill with unsifted all-purpose flour. Sift 3 times. 1 cup of this equals 1 cup of sifted cake flour.) Info from: http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,cake_flour,FF.html. Another good reference site would be http://www.baking911.com/index.htm. It talks a lot about the chemistry of baking and it also has great recipes. Hope this help your viewers.

Hi Lin,
The cornflake cookies are so yummy. The whole tub gone within a few moments. I myself ate four in a go. Gonna bake more and more of it in the next few days.
I love conflakes cookies too... I remembered i always had that during Chinese New Year when I was in Mal years ago..
Hi Doreen,
Do give it a try, very easy and quick to do and very yummy too!
Your cornflake cookies look lovely, but different from the ones that i make; mine is in a round ball, with the conflakes sticking outside. O yes,is there any chance that u will be making onde-onde?
Your Cornflake Cookies look so nice. When I first baked Cornflake Cookies(hehe.. with oven toaster early this year), the centre was soft. I had to break every cookies into half and rebake for a few more mins. *lol*
Are you going to make any gingerbread cookies?

Hi KAren,
Thanks for the recipe, will certainly try it when I can!
hie florence, i found the recipe i wanted on your blog and i have to say, the Cornflake cookies are amazing. The only thing that i regretted was that i didn't made enough to eat =(
one question though, how do i make double portion of it ? Do i double every single ingredients or just some specific ones ?
keep up the good work ! o.< b
Hi シャ二
Thanks for popping by. :D
You have to double every ingredients.
Happy baking!
thanks a million!
Hi Florence,
I halve the recipe and they turned out very delicious and crunchy! But the only thing were the raisins which seemed to have burnt and had a bitter taste. I shall make another round without the raisins. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Cheryl,
Yes, the raisin will be a little burnt.
Do away with the raisins.
Hi Florence,
I came your recipe through the net and since i had left over cornflakes i thought why not try your cornflake cookie recipe. I did it this afternoon, and they turned out very very tasty and crunchy too. I really liked your idea of adding orange zest to it. Thanks a lot for posting your recipe.
-P
Hi,
The orange zest is really a plus for this cookie.
I like it very much too!
Hi Florence,
It's a very good chance of mine to find your blog which is very handy. I've sought for cornflake cookies in many web sites but almost all of them don't show a picture of their cookies which made wonder what will they look like. Also, most recipes require me to add pecans and/or peanut butter which I don't have in my kitchen now (and don't wanna buy coz I don't like them much..haha). Thank you very much for this recipe. I'm gonna bake some tomorrow and will let you know the outcome. hee hee.. Thanks again. Bye. (",)
Hi Florence,
I baked these cookies this morning and they turned out very fantastic!! It's just great and really yummy. Thank you for this recipe. But I wonder if I can share your recipe in my Thai blog? I'll acknowledge and create a link to your blog anyway. Thanks a lot in advance! :)
Cheers,
Air
Hi Air,
Glad you liked the cookies.
Yes, you are welcome to share my recipe with your friends in your Thai blog.
Enjoy! :D
Hi Florence,
I am very keen to try out the conrflakes cookies so during CNY can give some to me mum, bro & sis. But todate still cannot find the orange zest, can I omit. Phoon Huat don't sell it at all. what's the fifference if omit the orange zest....urgent reply.thks
Hi dear,
You don't need to buy the orange zest, just grate the orange part of a cleaned orange to get the zest.
The zest really enhanced the flavour of this cookie, however it is ok to omit it.

Hi Florence,
Thank you for another wonderful recipe. I had tried out yesterday and it's really good. The orange peel is special and goes well with the cornflakes. Yummy and it's so easy to make! I'm going to include it in my CNY bake.

Hi Florence,
I would like to try out this receipe for this coming CNY. Could I replace cake flour with top flour since I have lots of it left in the kitchen. For the orange zest, do I cut very thin on the orange skin?
Kindly advise please. Hope you are not away yet.
Thank you.

Hi Florence,
Do i have to crushed the corn flakes into smaller pieces before adding? So many gd comments, shall try it one of these days...thks for the recipe!
Angie :)
Hi florence.. i am tempted to try out this recipe but i have a qns.. can i do away with the cake flour and replace with plain flour with the same quantity instead?
Hi,
Just measure out 150g plain flour, remove 2 tbsp of it and replace with 2 tbsp corn starch and you will get cake flour.
