What are cornflake cookies?
Cornflake cookies are an old fashioned favourite for many Australians. They’re a simple sweet biscuit dough rolled in cornflakes. Some cornflake cookie or biscuit recipes and variations date back to the 1930s – not long after Kellogg’s Corn Flakes were first launched in Australia in 1924. So, it’s no surprise many of us have grown up with different versions of cornflakes, and cookies that include them.
3 tips for making cornflake cookies
- Use fresh cornflakes to make these cookies as crisp and crunchy as possible on the outside.
- Sift the flour before you add it to avoid lumps and get the smoothest cookie dough.
- Make sure there is enough space between the cookies on the trays for them to expand a bit as they cook.
What is the secret to fluffy & crispy cornflake biscuits?
Keep an eye on the cooking time to make sure you get the ideal cornflake cookies that are crunchy on the outside and sweet, fluffy and chewy on the inside.
You can choose how much or little you crush the cornflakes before coating the cookies. That way, you can tailor these biscuits to your personal preference. Just don’t crush the cornflakes too much or you might not get the desired crispiness.
