Corn Flakes Chocolate Chips Cookies
Try baking corn flakes chocolate chips cookies for Chinese New Year. Though not traditional CNY cookies, we always get compliments from our CNY guests.
If you love corn flakes and chocolate chips cookies, then you are guaranteed to love this easy to bake corn flakes chocolate chips cookies.
These cookies were all the rage back when I was still a little kid in grade school. I have never seen these sold in the States, and even back home in Indonesia, this stuff is next to impossible to buy nowadays.
Luckily they are the easiest thing to bake. If you can bake a batch of chocolate chips cookies, you can definitely bake a batch of corn flakes chocolate chips cookies.
What you need
Those that bake chocolate chips cookies AND eat corn flakes for breakfast regularly will most likely have everything ready to go.
Just from the title, you know you will need corn flakes and chocolate chips.
You will also need all-purpose flour, baking powder, butter, egg, confectioners sugar, vanilla, and salt.
Simple stuff, really.
Tools that might help but not a must
If you own an electric mixer and a medium-size cookie scoop, mixing and shaping these cookies will be a breeze. But you can still mix the cookie dough without an electric mixer, in which case a spatula will be your best friend.
You can shape the cookie with nothing but 2 spoons, one to scoop out some cookie dough, and the other to help push the dough on to baking sheet. Your cookies might not be as pretty (or regular) if you use spoons, but they should still taste mighty delicious, which is the whole point of baking these in the first place.
These cookies don't expand during baking
I hate it when cookies recipes don’t tell me beforehand whether the cookie dough will expand or not during baking, so I will let you know so you can space your cookies accordingly on your baking sheet.
These cookies don’t expand at all. They will retain their shape before and after baking.
If you use a medium-size cookie scoop, you will end up with 24 cookies.
Technically you can bake the whole lot in a half-sheet pan. But I like to bake them in two half-sheet pans to ensure enough heat circulates and my cookies bake evenly. If you want to crowd them in one pan, proceed at your own risk :)

I never thought about using corn flakes in a chocolate chip cookie. This is genius! Looks so good!
Corn flakes remind me of my childhood too - but I've never had them in cookies! Sounds tasty!

I love corn flakes so adding them in cookies sounds like a no brainer! Can't wait to try this recipe over the weekend.
What a fun recipe! I've never had cornflakes in cookies before, but it sounds like a fabulous idea!
Wow! Now these are some delicious sounding cookies. I love the addition of the corn flakes as a base for he cookies.
Made it today. Please with the result!!
can these cookies be frozen after baking?
Hi Vickey, it should be doable. First, allow cookies to cool completely. Then, place them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to freeze them. Once frozen, store the cookies in a freezer-safe bag. They should be good for 1 month.
I was skeptical at first but these came out great and my kids LOVED them which is always a winner in my book!
Thanks for the tip about these cookies not spreading, I panicked after my first batch, then went back and read that they don't spread! They turned out yummy, I undercooked them slightly, cause we like gooey vs crispy!
These cookies are a hit in my house! So easy and unique, and so good!
What a brilliant recipe! I remember hearing about corn flake cookies many years ago and always wanted to try them. The combination of corn flakes plus chocolate chips is divine! Another winner from Daily Cooking Quest.
This is such an easy and delicious recipe, I cannot wait to make it again!
