Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups corn flakes, lightly crushed
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

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.
