Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 cups cornflakes
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly golden.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, cream the ingredients together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, to the creamed mixture. Beat well after each addition to ensure that the eggs are fully incorporated. Then, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for added flavor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will help to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt throughout the flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips and 2 cups of cornflakes using a spatula or wooden spoon. Make sure the chocolate chips and cornflakes are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This will allow them to firm up slightly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Chip Cornflake Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted. This helps create the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated to keep cookies tender.
- Chill the Dough: For even more flavor and better cookie shape, consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Cornflake Hack: Lightly crush the cornflakes before adding to create more integrated texture and crunch.
- Uniform Sizing: Use a cookie scoop for consistent cookie sizes, which ensures even baking.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent breaking.
- Storage Secret: Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft and fresh for up to a week.
