Cornflakes cookies

Cornflakes are good for health and here is another way to make sure your children have more of this cereal. I just love the slight hint of coconut these cookies have, apart from the heavenly crunchiness of the cornflakes. 

      And I am sure there are many of us who have packets and packets lying in our kitchen closet and are wondering what to do with them. 

 Ingredients:

1.  125 grams butter at room temperature

2.  ¾ cup castor / powder sugar

3.  2 cups all purpose flour

4.  1 ¼  cups  dessicated coconut

5.  3 cups lightly crushed but not powdered cornflakes ( I used the “Aims Aristo”brand)

6.  ½ teaspoon baking powder

7.  ½ teaspoon soda

8.  1 teaspoon vanilla essence
9.   2 eggs

Method:

1. Cream the butter and sugar till creamy.

2. Beat in the eggs and mix well.

3. Sift the flour with the baking powder and soda.

4. Add the dessicated coconut and the cornflakes.

5. Stir in the dry ingredients into the beaten butter and eggs and mix gently with the hands.

6. Take about one tablespoon ful in the hands and shape them into flattened balls .

7. Place them on a well greased cookie sheet.

8. Bake at 180° for about  20 -22 minutes or till golden brown.

9. When the cookies are at room temperature you can store them in a airtight jar for several days.
