Cornflake chocolate chip cookies are a play on the Milk Bar cookies just a little less sweet. A delicious twist on the chocolate chip cookie with perfectly caramelized edges and gooey centres with that extra cereal crunch.
In a large plastic bag, add the corn flakes and 1/3 cup dark brown sugar. Push the air out of the bag and seal it. Then crunch it all together with your hands a few times. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugars. Beat at medium speed until creamed together, 3-4 minutes.
Add in eggs, one at a time until incorporated and then add in the vanilla.
Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix until incorporated. Add in the chocolate chips and mix until incorporated. Dump the cereal crunch in and mix for an additional 2-3 seconds. Cover the bowl and chill for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight. Don't chill longer than 48 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line or spray a baking sheet and set aside.
Scoop 3 tbsp size cookies and lay them at least 2 inches apart on your pan. (I typically bake 6 at a time.) Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges just start to feel firm.
Let them cool for 2-3 minutes on the pan and then transfer to a wire rack to fully cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days and enjoy!
Notes
*The almond extract helps to give the birthday cake, traditional funfetti flavour so I recommend using it. However, I have left it out making these for daycare and they were still amazing!
