Adjusting the time or temperature might be necessary for the best outcome!
FAQS!
- Can I use any type of cornflakes for this recipe?
Yes, regular unsweetened cornflakes work best to give the cookies their classic crunch. You can experiment with other varieties, but keep in mind that sweetened or flavoured cornflakes may alter the taste. - Why aren’t my cookies turning crispy?
If your cookies aren’t crispy, it might be due to underbaking or an oven temperature that’s too low. Make sure to bake them until they’re golden brown, and allow them to cool fully before storing, as they crisp up while cooling. - How do I store these cookies to keep them crunchy?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crunch. If they soften over time, you can pop them back into a preheated oven for a few minutes to crisp them up again. - Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Absolutely! You can freeze the dough in balls, then thaw and roll them in cornflakes before baking. This is a great way to have fresh, homemade cookies ready whenever you want! - Can I add extra ingredients like nuts or dried fruit?
Yes! Feel free to add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even coconut to enhance the flavor and texture. Just be mindful not to overload the dough, as it could affect the baking consistency.
