Delicious chocolate chip crunch cookies are jazzed up with semi sweet chocolate chips and crushed corn flakes. These cookies are crisp and delicious.
Since my little blogging break over the holidays I started reading a new book series. I know a few of you mentioned you read this series too, The Hannah Swensen Mysteries. I have always had a love for series books (Stephanie Plum is favorite. I root for Joe for all of you who are wondering…although Ranger is equally delicious….) so when I heard of a series that incorporates murder mystery and baking I knew I had to check it out. Guess what? It’s awesome! I love it. I now want to open a bakery and solve mysteries at the same time…who is with me??? 🙂
Ok now onto the cookies. They are pretty tasty. They spread a bit thin but to be honest I didn’t mind. I knew I was making a crispy cookie and it was. I also used corn chex instead of corn flakes. That is what I had in the house and I think they taste pretty much the same. Mr.Nutmeg Nanny said he liked them because he thought the corn chex added just a little something to jazz up the normal chocolate chip cookie. Enjoy!!!

Total Time:
Ingredients:
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven 350 degrees. Rack in the middle position.
Melt butter, add the sugars and stir. Add soda, salt, vanilla, and beaten eggs. Mix well. Then add flour and stir it in. Add crushed corn flakes and chocolate chips and mix it all thoroughly.
Using a medium sized cookies scoop, scoop out cookies and place on a greased cookie sheet, about 8 per cookie sheet. Press down slightly with a floured or greased spatula.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on a cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then remove to a wire rack until they're completely cool. (The rack is important - it makes them crisp.)
Hannah's Note: If these cookies spread out too much in the oven do not flatten before baking.
I also am a Stephanie Plum fan-Janet Evanovich rocks–her books are always hilarious. And I’m on Team Joe as well. 🙂 Diane Mott Davidson also has a murder-mystery series featuring recipes, since the heroine is a caterer. I’ve read more of that syries, but as far as I can remember, I think I liked the feel of Joanna Fluke’s writing better than Diane’s. Anyway, I’m not a fan of crunchy cookies but I do love the shots you took with the book underneath them!
I love crunchy cookies…I also LOVE the Stephanie Plum novels…huge fan!
I love your pics! These cookies look mighty tasty — a little too tasty actually, since I’m trying to cut out sugar (except honey, maple syrup, and agave) since my holiday indulgence (a.k.a. feeding frenzy!) is over. Oh man, I’m tempted to make these though!
Sounds super good, they look very buttery!
Great cookies, when does the bakery open?
As for Stephanie Plum, I’m all for Joe, Ranger does have his appeal, but Joe is the man.

cookies made with cereal? how intriguing. thanks for sharing–the cookies and the books!
These cookies look amazing!
They look great…that first picture is so awesome! And yeah, you’re preaching to the choir here. My secret identity is a mystery-solving caterer 😉 (did you see that post of mine…been a while)
Oh the cookie sounds delicious, I like a little crunch in my cookies. I love this series of books also. Such fun reads, the bonus are the recipes.
Great looking cookies. I agree with girlichef, the first picture looks great. Like a stack of chocolate chip pancakes!
