Farm Journal's Corn Flake Cookies

"I did a Zaar search for these cookies and found several other recipes so I just had to post this old lunch box favorite! I use a cookie scoop and get just over 4 dozen cookies and bake them for about 11 minutes."

directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350* and line your cookie sheets with parchment or grease them well.
  • Sift flour, soda, salt and powder together and set aside.
  • Cream sugars and shortening together until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla.
  • Add dry ingredients to creamed and mix well. Add coconut and cornflakes and mix slowly just til mixed inches.
  • Drop by spoonful onto the parchment and bake 8 - 10 minutes until delicately browned. (I use a cookie scoop and get just over 4 dozen cookies and bake them for about 11 minutes).
  • These freeze well either *raw or **baked.
  • *To freeze the raw dough just scoop onto parchment and freeze on the tray. Bag up the frozen balls and store in the freezer for up to 6 months in a freezer bag. Be sure to mark the bag with what they are and how long to bake them. Defrost them in the refrigerator and bring them to room temperature while you preheat the oven.
  • **To freeze them after baking, wrap them in plastic and store in a freezer bag for up to 6 weeks.

  1. My family loves these cookies! They ask for them often. Keep well and are easy to make.
     
  2. These cookies were pretty good. I had never tried a cornflake cookie before, and happened to have all the ingredients handy. I followed the recipe exactly, only I cut it in half. The cornflakes took on sort of a stale consistency after baking, but that could perhaps be because I used imitation store brand corn flakes. I will definitely keep this recipe in my cookie file. Thanks for posting.

Hello Zaars and Zaarinas! Thank all of you who tried my 'memory' recipes and left such nice reviews and for taking such lovely pictures. I do appreciate your comments. My pet peeves about cooking are recipe reviews where the reviewer says, "I made the recipe exactly as written EXCEPT yada yada yada" and I don't like suggestive names or titles such as, "Better Than Sex". I don't know why anyone would eat anything that is 'sinful' or 'decadent' since decadent is described as being decaying. Also, PAP-RI-KA only has 3 syllables. VINAIGRETTE is pronounced vin-a-grette, not vinager-ette. It's mas-car-pone not mars-ca-pone. And I don't like cutesy adult baby talk,,, or metro chic names like delish, nutrish, yummo, sammy, BAM! Oh well, I make as many, or more, faux pas as the next guy especially in ASL! Things that crack me up are: DH Fred from youtube.com Nick, my nephew Fish and Poi song as performed by PoiBoi My possum recipe per the song on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVvL4-srt6U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpbyM8k7e2Q wow this is good! my Doggie Little Yellow Petey Bird on youtube My BFF's. all of them and there are so many! and my little Sister Mary Beth. She has MS and Lupus and a great attitude. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
