Cornflake Choc-chip cookies

Ingredients

140 g raw sugar
125 g butter, chopped, softened
1 tsp vanilla essence
210 g self-raising flour, sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbs milk
50 g cornflakes
120 g milk choc bits

Procedure

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a large, flat baking tray

Add sugar to TMX bowl and mill on speed 9 for 3 seconds.

Add butter and vanilla to sugar and cream on speed 3 for 1-2 minutes until pale and creamy.

Add flour and mix on speed 3 for 10 seconds.

Add milk and mix on speed 3 for 10 seconds.

Stir in cornflakes and choc bits using Reverse + speed 1 for 1 minute.

Roll tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls.

Place on tray, allowing enough room for spreading. Flatten balls slightly with a spatula.

Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden.

Stand for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Repeat with remaining cookie mixture.

Yield: 28

Tips
I used only 1/3 cup of sugar. Reduced the choc chips to 1/2 cup as posted on taste and mixture was perfect

Make them with sultanas instead of choc chips

Try chopped Apricots or ginger if to your tastes

could replace chocolate with chopped nuts or have half and half

CP - I reduced the sugar down to 115g (but may try 80g as faffa suggested), the SR flour down to 160g (but may keep it at 210g if the mix is perfect as is). I kept the choc bits at 120g cos I didn't want to be deprived, but think there were so many that will only put in 95g next time. Nice quick biccy, and thanks for posting the recipe faffa.

cookie -  These are really nice.  I only put the 80g of sugar suggested and reduced the choc chips to 90g. Thanks for the suggestions.

shan k -  so yummy!!

ES - I usually make CP's cornflake cookies, but tried these tonight with the reduced sugar and choc chips.  They are delicious and I will definitely make them again.

I also remember it was also a hospital bickie - every time you visited someone in hospital they would have a cornflake bickie for morning or afternnon tea.

I kept the choc bits at 120g cos I didn't want to be deprived, but think there were so many that will only put in 95g next time. Didn't worry about using a wooden spoon and just mixed on Reverse, Speed 1 for 1 min. Nice quick biccy, and thanks for posting the recipe faffa  (and all the other ones - my biccy container is going to be nice and full)

WOW you were quick lol

I meant to adjust the recipe to mix in the corn flakes on Reverse as an option. I did the first time, but mine like them a little more in tact than I could get with the TM. Mind you if there was nothing else I am sure they would still eat them so think I will just go that way. Will change the recipe I think - thanks CP63

I made some of these on Monday. They are really nice. There may be a couple left to photograph.

i have a very similar recipe that instead of incorporating the cornflakes into the mix, balls of mixture were rolled and coated in cornflakes before putting on the oven tray. these are nice biccies, and have tried this recipe both ways with the cornflakes.

Oh I remember those ones CP63 - I wonder if I still have the recipe somewhere waiting for it to be converted. I could basically chuck it and just add to this in LCB

I managed to rescue the last one from DD's hand. It is one lonely biscuit. I only put the 80g of sugar suggested and reduced the choc chips to 90g. Thanks for the suggestions.
Will be making another of Kathryn's lovely recipes today.
