Delicious Cornflake Crusted Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chewy chocolate chip cookies get a surprising twist with a crunchy cornflake crust, creating a delightful treat for gatherings or a cozy night in.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups cornflakes crushed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not over-mix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop, divide the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter; roll each ball in crushed cornflakes.
- Place the cornflake-coated dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
