Chocolate chip cookies are just the best, aren’t they? I’m sure we’ve all baked innumerable batches of those sweet vanilla cookies studded with rich chocolate chips. While I do love a classic chocolate chip cookie, it’s fun to mix things up a bit every now and then.
These little cookies certainly do that! The addition of corn flakes to the cookie dough adds an unexpected sweetness and a lovely crunch that will have you reaching for another.
We really loved this fun twist on a classic. They’re a bit sweeter than their traditional counterparts, so I like making them on the small side versus giant cookies. You’ll get plenty of flavor and crunch in one little cookie!

Corn flakes cereal adds an unexpected sweetness and a pleasant crunch to these Corn Flake Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Ingredients
- 1 & 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 & 1/2 cups corn flakes
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the milk and vanilla.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Stir in the corn flakes and chocolate chips.
- Using a tablespoon of dough at a time, form the dough into balls. The dough will be crumbly, but should hold together when pinched. You may need to squeeze the dough tightly to form them.
- Place the cookies on the prepared pan, leaving about 2 inches between each. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool the cookies on the pans for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

I love the use of cornflakes in these! I am a corn flake lover from way back and these look like I would really love them!
The almost savory crunch from the cornflakes sounds so good in these!
It looks crunchy from where I am. Warm and crunchy cookies are the best and…with chocolate chips and the sweet taste of cornflakes, oh my, I’m home.
Good flavor. These would definitely benefit by adding an egg.Â
