Further to my series on lunchbox fillers I thought I would see if I can come up with a few variations on a cookie with cornflakes as this is often what is in the cupboard and it is always good to use common ingredients in different ways. The favourite recipe in this house with cornflakes is Afghans so I will post that up also but this one is a fun quick cookie that is super crunchy and very sweet due to the amounts of butter, sugar and honey.
I did not allow the melted butter time to cool which is probably why they are so flat! lol But I was, as always, in a hurry doing several things at once as Mums often do! This is a super crispy cookie recipe – if you like a softer cookie check out my Chocolate Chip Cornflake Cookie instead. 🙂
Now onto the recipe for Honey Cornflake Crunch Cookies
Honey Cornflake Crunch Cookies
Ingredients
- 250 grams Butter
- 1 Cup White Sugar, 220 grams
- 2 Heaped Tablespoons Honey, 40 grams
- 2 tsp Baking Soda
- 2 Cups Plain White Flour, 300 grams
- 3 Cups Cornflakes, 90 grams
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 165C (330F)
- Melt the butter, sugar and honey together in a large bowl (for the microwave) or pan for stove top, stirring often and allow to cool.
- Add the flour and baking soda (you can sift - I don't!) and stir well
- Add the cornflakes and mix until completely combined.
- The mixture will be a little sticky, but roll into Tablespoon sized balls and spread onto tray, I used two trays as this makes a large batch
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies appear golden, they will still be soft to touch at this point.
- Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Enjoy!

Hi Anna,

Maria Kember says
Anna, My grandchildren liked them so will definitely make again. Will make sure melted butter and sugar are cool next time.
Maria Kember says
Anna, forgot to ask if Baking Soda is the same as Carb Soda?
justamumnz says
Yes it is ☺️
Maria Kember says
Anna, I made these today. I only made half the recipe. When I put them on the tray to bake them the butter oozed out of them. Followed the recipe so don’t know why this happened. Any idea why Anna?
justamumnz says
Hi, possibly didn’t allow the butter enough time to cool down? Sorry to hear that.
Gb says
Are the cookies supposed to be like chewy?
justamumnz says
Yes, they crisp up as they cool
