I have been waiting to try these cornflakes cookies since I saw them. They were truly tempting and after baking now I know they are quite addictive too 🙂 yes couldnt stay away from these buttery goodness.
I modified the recipe according to my taste and convenience still the cookies turned out great. And I tell you have no excuses as you have all the ingredients in your pantry so by now you should have your apron on 🙂 Happy Baking!!
Eggless Cornflakes Cookies Recipe – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 15 mins | Cooking Time : 20 mins | Makes : 12 cookies
Recipe Category: Snack | Recipe Cuisine: World | Recipe Reference: VeggieBelly
Recipe Category: Snack | Recipe Cuisine: World | Recipe Reference: VeggieBelly
Maida(All purpose flour) – 1/2 cup (67 gms)
Cornflakes – 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup
Unsalted Butter – 1/4 cup (50 gms)
Granulated Sugar – 1/4 cup (55 gms)
Vanilla Essence – 1/4 tsp
Baking powder – 1/8 tsp
Salt – 1/8 tsp
Method:
- Crush the cornflakes(Both 1/2 and 1/4 cup together)coarsely or grind it in a mixer like I did.In a mixing bowl – add butter, vanilla essence and sugar.
- Beat it well with a whisk until fluffy and creamy.Sieve flour and baking powder twice atleast.
- Now add the flour and 1/2 cup cornflakes and mix gently to form a soft dough. If the dough is too crumble add 1 tsp of water and knead it.After forming the dough refrigerate for 15-30 mins.Then take out the dough and Roll it to a cylinder and cut into small equal pieces.
- Preheat oven to 177 deg C for 10mins. Meanwhile roll them into balls and slightly flatten them using your palms , now dip it in the cornflakes mixture(1/4 cup) so that it is evenly coated on all sides.Arrange the cookies in a parchment sheet / butter paper leaving 1 inch gap(the cookies dont spread much) and bake the cookies for 12-15mins keeping the tray in the middle rack or until the edges start browning.
These are crispy on the outside and crunchy inside!
My Notes:
- If the cornflakes don’t stick to the cookie dough, take few drops of water in your fingertips, and coat the cookie dough ball with water and then roll in cornflakes.My dough was greasy so didnt add water.
- After 12mins keep an eye on the oven, if you overbake the cookies will become crunchy but the taste will be the same.
- Once baked,remove the cookies from the oven and cool on a wire rack. They will still be soft when they come out of the oven, but will firm up once they cool.
- If the cookie dough out of the fridge is too stiff, break it up into smaller pieces, add 1 tablespoon water, knead gently then roll them.Refrigerating the dough helps in retaining the shape and avoids spreading of cookies.Also it results in a more flakier cookies. But if you are in a hurry then just skip the chilling part and leave nice gap between the cookies and bake them.
- You can even add the cornflakes to a ziplock bag and roll with a chapathi roller to crush it roughly.You can also press cashews in each cookie as in the original recipe.
its tempting !

Hi!!!!!!!!!!
This is a lovely and easy to make recipe!!!! I love the color of the cookies!!!!
Sharmi, Can you post badam cake. I could halwa in internet but not the cake.
Sure Vasanthi will post it in future
thanks sharmi. it is not the baked cake. it will be like cashew burfi. we can call it as badam burfi.I have tasted it from krishna sweets.
Super cute cookies… Bookmarked will try this out
Sharmi, I have one small request for you. Can you give metric measures along with cup measures for baking recipes alone? I will be very thankful if you do so.
Yes have updated it now except for cornflakes as I havent measured them, I will sure update it later 🙂
This looks like a tasty little treat!
love how chubby they look
Hi!
I tried the cookies! Cookies came fantastically well! we all loved it!
can a substitute for butter be used?
Oil should work but not really sure of the quantity & outcome too…
Hi..i tried the cornflakes cookies today..but with the above measurements my dough was so wet that i had to double the quantity of maida..any clue why ?
Did you melt the butter? Other than that not really sure what went wrong…
Hi Sharmi,
Tried these cookies and LOVED them !
They are tastier and crunchier than any store-bought cookie I have ever tried.
Great recipe and thanks a lot for sharing!!
Love all your SIMPLE + DELICIOUS recipes.. especially all the bakes are SUPER GOOD 🙂
Sharmi,
I have been following your cookie recipes. My otg is Morphy richards 18ltr. Whenever I bake cookies using the baking tray, the bottom of the cookies get burnt in 5 mins. I have tried using baking sheet as well as aluminuim foil. Is there anything specific brand that use for lining?
Thanks,
Latha
No I don't actually use lining these days just use the black tray as such for baking cookies…If you want you can use butter paper or aluminium foil..May be try changing the tray
Can we use wheat flour instead of maida flour?
Yes you can try…I have tried it once and it came out good
Can i replace butter with dalda or ghee?
hi sharmila I am very new to baking. just recently got my OTG as a housewarming gift from my daughter. I am also on the road to recovery from a very grave illness. cooking traditional foods is what I know but cookery is my life. now when browsing cookery blogs came across yours and instantly fell in love .very gud and simple to follow recipes for a novice, today did this one and it came out wonderful crunchy.. thank you dear for an evening spent with my passion. my age is 52 but what is age when it comes to learning
Thank you so much Mam! I am so honored to receive such encouraging words from you! Sure keep your comments coming…would love to read them! Take cake and will pray for your speedy recovery!
it was a nice experience going through your blog. my second time with my ne OTG and it turned out just perfect .thank you der for your blog. .you are my daugte'rs age
Hi Sharmi, Can I use Kellogs cornflakes( the regular unflavoured one ) for this recipe?.
Yes you can…I used the same too 🙂
hello… I tried this cookies it came out awesome…crispyy.. can I use wheat flour instead of maida?
Yes you can…
Hi, I made these with multi-grain flour and jaggery instead of sugar. They came out beautiful. Only thing is you will need to use more jaggery. Also you will need to add water to make the dough come together. Also I used the entire cornflour amount mentioned in the recipe plus for the coating I used more crushed cornflakes as required. These cookies were hit in my family and were devoured while they were still warm from the baking.
Shall I use honey cornflakes.
yes you can use
hello ma’am , i tried this and it came out really well. thank you soo much for this recipe. ma’ am, how long can we keep these? to keep for more than one week do we need to any preservatives?
No these cookies stay good atleast for a week in room temperature
