Chocolate Chip Cornflake Cookies – These cookies are incredibly thick, soft, chewy, and slightly crispy. The cornflakes gives these cookies extra chewiness!
No pumpkin in sight today. 😉 Instead, today I bring you my totally irresistible Chocolate Chip Cornflake Cookies. Yup. Irresistible. These cookies have now become one of my family’s (and mine!) favourite. These have everything I could ever want in a cookie.
They’re ultra thick, incredibly chewy (a little help from the cornflakes), and oh so slightly crispy on the outside. Perfection!
Chocolate Chip Cornflake Cookies
My brother, Murray, likes to try everything I make, and give a proper ‘review’ on them, whether that be positive or negative, haha! Well, he absolutely LOVED these cookies (Yay!). He loved how soft they were, yet so chewy at the same time.
He also loved how they were slightly crispy on the outside, too. My boyfriend helped taste-test, too – I believe he had two cookies before I even took the photos!
Because these cookies are loaded with chocolate chips and cornflakes, they won’t spread much in the oven, meaning you’ll have these scrumptiously thick cookies to enjoy. These cookies require no creaming method, and no chilling time, which means you can have these cookies sooner!
If you’re planning to make these cookies ahead of time, you can store the cookie dough balls, covered, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen for an extra minute.
I made the cornflakes extra flavourful and crispy by mixing them with a little malt powder, sugar, and melted butter, and baking them for about 15 minutes. That’s what gives these cookies that extra chewiness, and I love it!
One thing I love about these chocolate chip cornflake cookies is that you can really taste the cornflakes. They’re not just for chewiness, but they add another flavour that pairs wonderfully with the cookies.
Make these the cookies you bake next, you won’t be disappointed – I promise.
Try these delicious cookies next!

Hi Marsha! your photography is awesome and almost feels like you “are right there” in the pictures. These cookies looks so worthy to try them . Thanks 🙂
Thank you so much, Peter! 🙂
Thick, chewy AND crispy?? I’m swooning, naturally. I love that Murray insists on helping you “review” your cookies. Erm… any slots open for some taste “reviewing??” I could help ya. 😉 😉 And I don’t even know how your boyfriend was able to stop at two. That’s some admirable self control! Hehe. Another fantastic recipe, Marsha! Hope you’re having an awesome start to the week. xo
Thanks, Demeter!
I’ve never had cornflakes in cookies before! That is all sorts of genius, Marsha! These look absolutely delicious, girlfriend!!! Cheers!
Thanks, Cheyanne! 🙂
These cookies look delicious! Sometimes adding in a new ingredient like cornflakes really works! My mom has a cookie recipe that has potato chips in it and they are amazing! Look forward to trying these =)
Thanks, Shelby! Oh, potato chip cookies sound delicious! 🙂
I/m sorry. I asked this question earlier today; but did not see the box to check off to receive a follow-up email reply. I would like to also know how much I love your blog and recipes! You do an OUTSTANDING website.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Chocolate Chip Cornflake Cookies would be perfect for the upcoming holidays, or even for the kiddos snacks, thank you for sharing them!
Thanks, Heidy!
I wouldn’t use the malt powder for any other purpose. Is it vital? Is there a substitute that would work?
Malt powder is really just for taste, but it’s totally optional.
Yummy treat for any time of the day…
What a brilliant cookie! LOVE the corn flakes and the chocolate drizzle on top. Yummy X100!
Thanks, Valentina!
Using cornflakes in cookies is such a great idea! I’ll definitely have to try them out!
Thanks, Miranda!
I love this twist on a classic chocolate chip cookie! I’m all about texture and I’m sure those cornflakes add a fun crunch. Your photos are gorgeous and the cookies look mouthwateringly delicious!
Thanks, Holly!
These cookies are gorgeous! I love how thick they are — and adding cornflakes to them for extra crunch! I’ve been known to add rice krispies to mine so we’re not too far off. As always, your pictures are beautiful!
Thanks, Lisa! 🙂
The cookies look great! Such a fun way to use cornflakes. I have a brother who loves to be the “taste test critic”, too!
Thanks, Vanessa! 🙂
