As part of my series of Lunchbox fillers I wanted to show you a few different recipes with cornflakes, these Chocolate Chip Cornflake Cookies will be a hit.
Posted April 19, 2015, Updated March 13, 2024
Afghans are the big hit in our house, but this one is an alternative that uses every day ingredients and is sure to please the kids and adults alike!
Cornflakes is always something we have in the house so it makes for a easy go to ingredient whether it is for savoury or sweet dishes.
This recipe makes a lovely buttery cookie with the added crunch of cornflakes and yummy chocolate chips as the special ingredient!
My husbands comment was – “wow they are yum – but what’s the crunchy things in it?”…….hmm I need a more helpful taste tester given I told him it was a cornflake cookie! lol

Such a great lunch box filler or to use up leftover cornflakes.
