You’ll love these thick and chewy Cornflake Cookies. Buttery cookie dough loaded with chocolate chips, rolled in crunchy Cornflakes and baked until golden and crisp.
If cookies are covered in cereal, can you eat them for breakfast? đź’•
These thick and chewy Cornflake Cookies are my latest weakness. Buttery chocolate chip cookie dough rolled in crunchy Cornflakes and baked until golden. It’s the best of both worlds.
Crunchy on the outside, chewy in the middle. And loaded with chocolate. Yes please!
I don’t know about you but I love incorporating cereal into my baking. Whether it’s Rice Bubbles (or Rice Krispies) in my Chocolate Slice or my Peanut Butter Pie. Or Cornflakes in my cookies.
But this is not the first time I’ve shared a Cornflake Cookie with you. My Chewy Cornflake Marshmallow Cookies are super thin and crispy and have toasted Cornflakes mixed through the cookie dough, adding both flavour and chew. They’re the best.
But these thick and chewy Cornflake Cookies are rolled in Cornflakes prior to baking. Adding texture and crunch. #winwin
The cookie dough itself is buttery and smooth and requires NO chilling. Which means these cookies can be ready to eat in just 30 minutes flat.
Typically, here in Australia, Cornflake Cookies are filled with sultanas or raisins but I couldn’t help but add chocolate chips – because you know I just can’t resist adding to chocolate to everrrything.
And biting into a Cornflake Cookie while it’s still warm with melted chocolate oozing out is just the b-e-s-t.
So how do you get the Cornflakes to cover the cookies just like these? 👆🏻 It’s super easy. You simply grab a large tablespoon of cookie dough, roll it in your hands and then roll in a bowl of slightly crushed Cornflakes.
Use your hands to press the cornflakes all over the cookie dough – they should stick. Then place the balls of cookie dough onto your baking sheet. As the cookies bake, they will spread out and the Cornflakes will go roasty-toasty.
Crispy, crunchy, buttery and sweet, these Cornflake Cookies will be your new go-to.

I was going to make these cookies until I saw that there were 196 calories per cookie. Can you make this recipe with less calories per cookie? Thanks
Hi Joanne, I’m not sure, sorry.
I usually never comment on recipes, but knew I had to with this one. These cookies are divine! One of the best cookies ever. I did make a little mistake in the beginning by swapping my measurements for the sugars, but they still turned out great. I also didn’t have regular corn flakes so I used frosted flakes. My husband isn’t a huge sweets person but went on about how good they are. This recipe will be kept in my cookie rotation! They are the best, thank you =)

Aw thank you so much for your comment Hannah! It means so much to hear you enjoyed these cookies – and using frosted flakes sounds brilliant!
