| A good friend of mine is looking for a recipe for a cookie made with Cornflakes. Now, she says they are not run through a food processor to crush the flakes up but left rather whole. Does anyone have an old box sitting around in a closet somewhere, or in a celler that may still have the recipe on it? Would be so appreciative. The cold and long days o winter are prime time for childhood favorites. You all always come through.
Thanks, Kim |

| That's not much of a description (LOL). Drop cookie, refrigerator cookie, rolled cookie, cut or formed, no-bake??? Any other known ingredients? See if one of these sounds right. You might also take a look at Kellog's (Corn Flakes) and Post (Toasties) web sites for cookie recipes using cornflakes. -Grainlady RANGER COOKIES Cream together: Sift together: Combine dry ingredients with creamed mixture. Add (mixing well): 2 c. cornflakes, 1 c. coconut, 2 c. oatmeal, 1 c. chocolate chips. Bake 10-12 minutes in a 350°F oven. CORN FLAKES MACAROONS 4 egg whites In large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Stir in cream of tartar and vanilla. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff and glossy. Fold in pecans, coconut and cereal. Drop by rounded measuring tablespoon onto well-greased baking sheets. Bake at 325°F. about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove immediately from baking sheets. Cool on wire racks. Yield: about 3 dozen. Variation: Merry Macaroons: Fold in 1/2 c. crushed peppermint candy with pecans and coconut. |

| Was it cornflakes coated in chocolate & dropped onto waxed paper in clumps? If so, check the site below. If that's not it, here's a bar cookie recipe: CORN FLAKE DREAM BARS 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 cup flour 2 eggs 1 cup brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1/4 tsp salt 1 cup shredded coconut 1 cup chopped nuts 1 cup corn flakes Cream butter & 1/2 cup sugar. with a pastry blender or fork, work in the flour. Press mixture evenly & firmly over bottom of large greased glass pan & bake in a preheated 350° oven for 12 mintues or until delicately browned. Beat eggs until light & add 1 cup sugar gradually. Add vanilla & salt & beat thoroughly. Fold in shredded coconut, corn flakes & chopped nuts & spread evenly over baked crust. Return to oven & bake 25 minutes longer. Cut while warm.~~ |

| We used to make one that was just like rice krispie bars but you used corn flakes and then dyed them green and formed them into wreaths for christmas. or you can use the recipe that you use for special k bars (scotcheroos) and either put them in a pan or drop them into mounds. Do either of those sound famiiar?? deanna |

| I'm wondering if it's similar to something I remember from my childhood too...my babysitter made it..they were buttery, but crispy...but not crunchy...I always thought they were a potato chip cookie...but I tried a few recipes with crushed potato chips..and that was not it..maybe it was cornflakes...I'll be following this thread!!! And Grainlady, the ones I remember were drop cookies..or atleast that's the shape I can recall...like an oatmeal or chocolate chip.. |

| There was no chocolate chips..no oatmeal..and I don't think coconut....like a butter cookie flavor..with the crunchy bits in them. But gosh I was probably 8 the last time I had them..and well 30 plus years have gone by..... |

| Scotcheroos? Was there peanut butter in them? Somewhere I have a recipe for a bar which calls for flake cereal...special K Corn flakes or wheaties... could that be it? Linda C |

| I googled "corn flake cookies" and found several recipes that have corn flakes and no oatmeal or other embellishments. The first does have spices, but sounds delicious. Cornflake Cookies Preheat oven to 350 Cream the margarine and both sugars Cornflake Cookies 2 egg whites Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheet. Beat egg whites until frothy. Add salt. Beat until stiff. Beat in vinegar, vanilla, sugar replacement and liquid fructose. Lightly fold in cornflakes. Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 to 3 inches apart on prepared sheet; Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned. Cornflake Cookies This is a crispy and crunchy cookie and not too sweet. (A) (B) Method: 1. Mix (A) in a bowl. Add in (B). Mix well with a spatula. Some cornflakes will crush when mixing. 2. Use a small cookie scoop and scoop cookie dough and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 3. Bake at preheated 350'F oven for 15-17 minutes. Or baked in preheated 325'F convection oven for 13-15 minutes. 4. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in air-tight container. ~Yield about 32-35 with cookie scoop.

| I am really late to this party. lol But this is a recipe that my Grandmother, who died a few years ago at almost 100 years old, used to make for her husband. Now my grown daughters call it one of their favorites. Here it is: 3 egg whites Beat the egg whites until frothy adding sugar and beating after the egg whites are frothy just until the sugar is dissolved. Then fold in, do not mix with mixer, the Corn Flakes, pecans and coconut until blended. Do not over mix as this will break the cornflakes. Bake until set and slightly browned. Let set on cookie sheet until set. I had no directions when I got the ingredients, that is the way she did things. :) I bake them around 350 for under 10 mins. but check as you go. I hope this is the recipe your friend is thinking of. I am sorry for such a delay. I lost the recipe and just found it. I am making them today btw. Evelyn |
