Salted Oatmeal Cornflake Cookies

Brooke Homec
Salted oatmeal cornflake cookies are a chewy oatmeal cookie with a bit of a crunch from the cornflakes and the perfect hint of salt to balance the sweetness. They are a quick and easy cookie to whip up in one bowl and less than thirty minutes!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (227 g) salted butter
  • 1½ cups (330 g) dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (204 g) old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups (56 g) cornflakes
  • 1 cup (85 g) sweetened coconut
  • ½ cup (14 g) cornflakes for coating the cookie dough broken up
  • Flaked salt for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mix until smooth on low speed. Beat in vanilla.
  • Slowly mix in salt, baking powder, baking soda and flour, being careful not to over mix. Fold in the oats, coconut and cornflakes.
  • Scoop the dough into cookie balls. I like to use a 3 tablespoon scoop for these. Roll the top of the cookie dough balls in broken up corn flakes.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Top with a good sprinkle of flaked salt.

Notes

The butter and eggs should not be completely chilled from the fridge, but should also not be room temperature. I try to let them sit out for about 15-30 minutes before I begin my cookie making!
I love the extra chewiness from the coconut in these, but feel free to omit it without changing anything else.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
