"Want a crunch without the nuts? Add corn flakes. My daughter baked this recipe every week when she was in HS, and we still enjoy it! Make cookies or bars. These freeze well, so make extra for gifts and special occasions."

  1. These cookies were great and I will certainly make them again. I obviously make my cookies larger as I got 80 cookies. I was very hesitant in making these rather than using my old trusted recipe but I am certainly glad I did.
     
  2. I have to agree that these are really great. I have a couple of kids that will not eat anything with nuts. These cookies have the crunch without the nuts and were a big hit at my house. Thanks!!!
     
  3. Drew, these are great! I loved the crunch without the nuts, gotta admit I had no corn flakes so I subbed frosted flakes, just a slightly more sugar taste. These will be made again as they keep nicely and freeze even better! TY
     
  4. sorry to ruin this review -- but the texture was far too crispy. i know they are supposed to be "crunchy", but the cookie itself snapped before i could tell if there was anything crunchy in there. just tasted like really really sweet oiliness, imo.
     
  5. Finally a biscuit which turns out nice and crunchy. My husbands favourites - thanks for a top recipe :)
