Time is flying by so fast these days and I find myself trying to catch my breath just to catch up on things.I didn’t even realize that it’s been more than two weeks since my last post. I have been keeping myself busy these days planning and stressing over the wedding cake that I will be making this spring. I have less than two months before the wedding and right now it’s all about preparing the decorations and sorting out the check list. I recently had a light bulb moment at 3 am and woke up all giddy with ideas on how my cake would look like. Finally, I now have it figured out after months of searching for inspiration I am happy to report that I finally got it. And with that, I would like to celebrate it with something sweet of course!
As the weather here in the Northeast is slowly but surely finding its way to spring, I am seeing a lot of pretty bright colors everywhere; in dresses, shoes, bags and of course food. My color for today is yellow. And this makes me think of an old time family favorite that my mom and I used to bake. The idea of crushing golden crisp cornflakes with my hands is really fun plus it’s also a great way to release any build up aggression.
These cookies are really yummy. I love the idea of using corn flakes in cookies. It adds a delicious crunch to sink your teeth in and of course, corn flakes appeals to just about anyone.
Corn flake Crisps
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup ground almonds
1 cup self-rising flour
2 cups lightly crushed corn flakes
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Then add in the egg and vanilla and continue to mix.
Combine the ground almond and self-rising flour; add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
Roll a tablespoon of the mixture into a ball or use a small ice cream scoop and roll in the crushed corn flakes. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
What a indulgent treat.Love all the ingredients in there.All the best for your wedding cake preparations 🙂

Really love your recipes, its quite varied. The cornflake cookies got my attention, then I saw gulab jamum, then shortbread…looking forward to future posts
I love the plate;-) The cookies are fun and nice touch putting the cornflakes as a coating on the outside, yum;-)
One more reason to love cornflakes! (Not that I needed one)…These cookies look incredible…your photos are stunning! Cheers!
I’ve never seen a cornflake cookie recipe. I love the idea. I always enjoyed cornflakes when I was a kid. I bet I’d love these.
I have never had a cornflake cookie! Have I been deprived? This does look crunchy, sweet and delicious. Have a great weekend. And I am so happy for you that you have landed on your design for the wedding cake.
Ma che meraviglia! Devono essere buonissimi!!! Un abbraccio e buon fine settimana
What a delightful and unique treat 🙂
I am so in the same boat not being able to catch my breath. Can’t wait to see writings in the future on this cake! Nice crunch cookies indeed and love the ground almonds in there.
Wow! These cookies look great.
I love that crunchy coating that the Corn Flakes give these cookies! Yum! 🙂
It would be wonderfully stress-relieving to crush those cornflakes. 🙂 Maybe that’s what I should do tomorrow after this exhausting week. 🙂 They sound delicious!
I would love these cookies as I am a crunch fanatic! Wishing you the best on your wedding prep!
What a great cornflake cookie recipe! Look so crunchy!
How wonderful that you turn to a recipe that you used to make as a child to celebrate your breakthrough! I love cookies with a crunch and cornflakes are so fun to work with! I’m sure your wedding cake will be a triumph 🙂
I adore crunchy cookies and these sounds wonderful! I’ve had cornflakes in the Afghan cookies and they added so much. I really want to give these a go too! 😀
You must be so-so excited… that’s okay about posting, sometimes things come at you like a whirlwind… I can’t wait to read more about your wedding preparations.
Delighted you have the wedding cake sorted in your mind (the most important bit!)
Love these cookies – a must try!
A cornflake cookie, how fun! I’ve made cookies with rice crispies in them but never cornflakes, these look great. I can’t believe you are making your own wedding cake! I’m sure it’s going to be amazing, you are so talented.
These cookies look crispy and fun and easy. I love them!
Your cookies sound really delightful. I’m new to your blog and have just spent some time browsing through your earlier entries. I’m so glad I did. I really like the food and recipes you feature here. I’ll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
What a fun cookie. I wouldn’t have thought to use the corn flakes. 🙂
My mother-in-law used to make simple chocolate and corn flake treats. I never though of using them in cookies but I LOVE the idea.
Wow, these look awesome! Love your photos too!
Ooh, yum. I have never thought about using corn flakes in a cookie. I love the creativity…and we had absolutely amazing sales on corn flakes in the stores this weekend. Coincidence? I think not. Must make these!
Great idea for a cookie recipe! I’d love to try some!
Can’t wait to see this wedding cake & in the meantime., I’ll be enjoying these crunchy cookies. I remember a similar style cookie using cornflakes from a kid. Nice one 🙂
oh what a fun idea- these look great!
What a unique idea!! And I love how you tie this lovely recipe into the weather – you just have a way with words my friend! This looks delicious.
Yum! These reminds me of the Southern cookie ‘ranger cookies’ that have corn flakes or rice krispies in ’em! Looks delicious!
Great idea! Mmm I love cornflakes 🙂
I never had cornflakes in cookies! What a great idea!
These look delicious – more interesting than honey joys.
This looks delicious! 🙂
What fun cookies! I bet they have a great texture!
Gosh I really like the sound of these. They remind me of the stuff that Momofuku Milk Bar in NYC does. I am going to bookmark these 😀
*kisses* HH
good luck with your cake, time flies…I hear ya..I cannot keep up with everything…life,blog,comments..ahhh
sweetlife
have a great week!
I hear you on the busy comment. Life is flying by lately! Hope things settle down, and that you can at least find a quiet moment with one of these cookies and a cup of tea. That always relaxes me when I am stressed.
I’m so busy too…and I’m sure you have so much on your plate! I can’t wait to hear about your cake 🙂 These cookies are such sweet little treats. I love cornflakes. Thanks for sharing all this culinary goodness. I hope you sleep well tonight and wake up refreshed and ready to embrace the new day!
Since they do have cereal in them, can I have these for breakfast? They look delicious, and the yellow color is cheery and lovely!
The cookies look great. I can imagine what a nice crunch the cornflakes give them. :o)
What an unusual cookie! I really like the idea of using cereal in baked goods (especially the kind that my kids don’t want to eat….but are cheap to buy!)
I stress about design projects all the time and believe it or not…some of my finest ideas have come from sitting on the wee pot. I can’t believe I just shared that…but hey, it’s a natural human process isn’t it? LOL In my case it goes together with my Eureka moments.
I’m looking forward to your masterpiece for the wedding.
These cookie crisps are my perfect treat especially since they hold almonds that please my tummy ;o)
Ciao for now,
Claudia
what a delightful sweet treat!! would love some right now
What a terrific idea. They look delicious…
This looks so easy to make…i would much rather have these cookie crisps for brekfast rather than regular cornflakes…heheh
Love the ground almonds….they’d add to the lovely crunch! Nice cookie recipe!
I am totally seduced by your cornflakes cookies! Their bright colour is irresistible and the crunch added by the cornflakes is something I want to try soon!
These cookies sound excellent. Do you deliver? If the wedding cake is half as good, than I think that you should sleep easy.
I would have never thought of using corn flakes in cookies but it surely sounds like a great idea. These look delicious.
