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!

sorry Marsha but I have one crucial question because as I mentioned to you that I am making this recipe, but you only say add the egg do you mean both the egg and the egg yolk or is it just one?

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 =)
