Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the crushed corn flakes, chocolate chips, and nuts if using.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can substitute chocolate chips with raisins or dried cranberries for a fruity twist.
For a richer flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the dough.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
