Cornflake Cookie

This cornflake cookie has been on my to-bake list for the longest time. When I first saw the recipe at Florence's blog, I chop-chop bought a big pack of cornflake which have been atop the kitchen cabinet for few lonely months.

The timing was just right when I picked up some pretty paper liners and "gourmet butter" Elle & Vire (on offer at Shermay - $16 for 1kg) decided to add this to my Chinese new year goodies.

Changes that I made:

• This is made eggless, as I always do to my cookies.


• I rolled the cornflakes on the outside, just coating the cookie, as oppose to adding it to the cookie dough.


• I added more stuff (orange water & liqueur) to accentuate the orange flavour. Right choice!


• I doubled the portion and got about 60 pcs.
