Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly and set aside to allow the flavors to blend.
-
-
Cream the Butters and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together 1 cup of margarine and 1 cup of butter until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process is essential for creating a delightful texture in your cookies, so take your time to incorporate air into the mix.
-
Add Eggs and Vanilla: To the butter and sugar mixture, add approximately 1/2 cup of eggs (about 2 large eggs) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat the mixture well until fully combined, ensuring that everything is mixed evenly.
-
Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix at this stage, as this can lead to denser cookies.
-
Fold in the Crunch: Gently fold in 2 cups of crushed corn flakes, along with 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of peanut butter chips. The crunch of the corn flakes paired with the richness of the chocolate and peanut butter creates a perfect balance of flavors.
-
Shape the Cookies: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the cookie batter and drop it into the remaining crushed corn flakes. Roll the batter in the flakes to coat it thoroughly. This step not only enhances the flavor but also adds a delightful crunch to each bite.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the coated cookie dough balls on ungreased cookie sheets, flattening them slightly to a diameter of about 3 inches. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the sheets for a couple of minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them as they bake.
These Jumbo Corn Flakes Cookies are not just a treat; they are a nostalgic journey back to simpler times, making them the perfect addition to any gathering or just as a comforting snack at home. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or save some for later—if you can resist their tempting aroma!
