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.
full time baking plus some espionage on the side–sounds like the ideal life to me! great cookies–i like my cookies flatter than a pancake and chewy, so these are perfect for me!
Absolutely beautiful daaaaaahling. I’ve never seen cookies with cornflakes in them, but they look delicious! I bet it gives them a little extra something 🙂
Corn chex? That’s genius! Finally, something new and inventive to do with that cereal besides make “Chex mix.” 😉
I would love about a dozen of those with my coffee right now!
I too love the Stephanie Plum series…but a close second is the Goldie Schulz series by Diane Mott Davidson (a culinary murder mystery series). Just discovered your blog…looks like you found a new follower in me!
I’ve never heard of these books! I will for sure check them out. I’m all for opening a bakery. It’s one of my dreams… The cookies look scrumptious!
Your cookies look amazing… and I have to check out those books. I don’t read as much as I should… but any reading that yields tasty cookies is OK with me.
PS – If you come to PA, we can start a bakery together… That’s one of my long-time dreams!
