This gorgeously crisp, cornflake-kissed confection features minimal sugar and maximum taste.
I adapted this from my grandmother's recipe, which I carefully typed up as a teenager, and have filed away to this day.
Ingredients
120 grams soft butter/margarine
3 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup cranberries OR raisins*
5 large chopped dates
1/2 cup slivered almonds/pumpkin seeds
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Maldon salt
1 cup lightly crushed cornflakes
Additional cornflakes for rolling
Directions:
1: Cream the butter and sugar together and beat in the egg and vanilla.
2: Add the flour and baking powder and mix well then stir in remaining ingredients including the crushed cornflakes.
3: Roll mixture into small balls, roll each ball in a bowlful of additional, lightly crushed cornflakes, and then place on a baking tray and flatten slightly with a fork before baking at 180 C for approximately 15 to 18 minutes till lightly golden.
COOK'S NOTES: These cookies are especially good to serve to people on a reduced sugar diet as almost all the sweetness comes from the dried fruit and not processed sugar. Remaining cornflakes stay fresh for 3 months in a sealed container, and I promise you'll be making both these cookie recipes often, and using up your cereal. Stale cornflakes can be processed to make schnitzel crumbs so nothing will go to waste.
