ISO: ISO a good cornflake cookie recipe...

[sandi-in-hawaii]

My son wanted cornflake cookies, the kind that are sorta shortbread-y. I made a recipe from an aunt, and it was okay, not great. Needed salt, needed more cornflakes, needed more something.

Got a good one?

Are you interested in a fudge brownie that also uses cornflakes?

I'm pretty sure I saw a rocky-road type of brownie that included cornflakes on the same site the provided 'Lemon Mousse Cookies'. If you are - I'll find it for you.

My family enjoys these cookies. Reminds one of a Pecan Sandie

1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup regular oats, uncooked
1 cup crushed corn flakes cereal
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Cream butter; gradually add sugars, beating well at medium speed of mixer. Add egg, and beat well; add oil and vanilla, mixing well. Combine flour, soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture, mixing well. Stir in oats and remaining ingredients. Shape dough into 1 " balls.

Thanks for the recipes! (Did you notice they are quite similar?) Made Gail's tonite...

It's a wonderful cookie, kinda like a chewy oatmeal, with some extras, like the coconut and corn flakes. I think these are probably better when soft and chewy, instead of crunchy.

My son did love these right out of the oven - definitely a keeper recipe. However, it's not quite the recipe I was looking for, so I guess I'll keep looking smileys/smile.gif

Thanks to all!

Martha Stewart's Kitchen Sink cookies are like this. Great recipe too, but not shortbready

Would love to see it (maybe I could add a little more salt, with the corn flakes instead of chips
