Cornflake Cookies

The humble box of cornflakes is possibly one of the most common items found in pantries all around the Western world. Such a simple creation; these little golden petals can be used so many ways to provide that perfectly light crunch.

My hubby was feeling a little under the weather today so I decided to cheer him up by baking some cookies. He loves cornflakes so I made a batch of cornflake cookies. Cornflake cookies are normally made with raisins but I'm not the hugest fan of raisins in cookies and Paul dislikes raisins altogether. So I put chocolate chips in instead!

CHOC-CHIP CORNFLAKE COOKIES
