Butter Cookies with Cornflakes Recipe
These cookies are crispy with a fun extra textured crunch from the added cornflakes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cups crushed cornflakes
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
- Add butter and sugar to a standing mixer bowl. Whip on high speed until lighter in color and texture.
- Stir in the egg yolks and vanilla until combined
- Add the flour, cornflakes, and salt. Mix on low until just combined.
- Cover the dough and chill for at least 3 hours in the fridge.
- When you are ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- While the oven is preheating bring the cookie dough out and let it sit for about 15 minutes so that it is soft enough to scoop.
- Scoop the cookie dough onto light metal cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes until lightly golden brown on top.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to sit on the pan for 5-10 minutes to set. Then, remove the cookies and allow them to cool fully. Enjoy!
