Chewy Cornflake Cookies

Cornflake Cookies have a chewy texture and make the perfect  sweet & salty combination.

1 cup all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda 1/2 cup salted butter  2/3 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar 1 large egg ½ teaspoon almond extract 1½ cups cornflakes cereal 1 cup whole old-fashioned oats 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes

INGREDIENTS

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

Cream together the butter, sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed for 3-4 minutes. You want it really fluffy looking and lighter in color.

Add in the egg and almond extract. Beat on low speed just until the egg is incorporated.

Add in the dry ingredients and beat on low speed, increase speed as needed, just until the dough comes together and is combined.

With a rubber spatula, stir in the cornflake cereal, oats, and coconut flakes.

Use a medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons) to scoop the cookie dough out and place 12 cookies per cookie sheet.

Bake for 9-12 minutes or until the edges are barely set and light golden brown.

Remove the cookie from the oven and allow them to cool on the warm baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
