Cornflake Cookies - Simple With Options


	Cornflake Cookies "Kinda like a macaroon" These cornflake cookies are kinda like macaroons. You can leave out the coconut if you want (I have coconut-haters in my house). But if you leave it out add a tad more of the cornflakes to get enough of the cookie to stick together. Now if you are looking for more of a true macaroon then see my: chocolate macaroons coconut macaroon cookies Only thing to be watchful for is - you have to kinda squeeze the ingredients together when you put them on the cookie sheet. This recipe came from one of my grandma's friends (who actually wasn't Italian, but she gave this recipe to my grandma.) For the holidays I add green food coloring and then shape the cookies like wreathes. When they finish I added two red-hots to the top of the wreath to give it that "ooh and aaah" factor.

Cornflake Cookies Recipe YIELD: 2-3 Dozen INGREDIENTS: * 2 egg whites * 4 cups of Cornflakes * 2/3 cup slivered almonds * 2/3 cup of coconut (IF YOU leave it out - add a tad more cornflakes for texture) * 1 cup of sugar * 1 tablespoon of melted butter * 1/2 teaspoon of salt * 1 teaspoon vanilla Procedure: * Preheat oven to 350 degrees * Beat two egg whites until stiff * Mix the other ingredients together until blended * Fold in the egg whites * (Add food coloring if you want) * Place the cookies 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet * You may have to squeeze together to get a shape * Bake about 15 minutes * Let 'em cool before taking them off the cookie sheet (otherwise the break) Substitutions and Questions Do I HAVE to use almonds? Nope. We just use them a lot in Italian Dessert Recipes so I have them sitting around. Do I HAVE to use Cornflakes? Just because these are cornflake cookies doesn't mean you have to buy an expensive name brand ( like the one with the rooster on the box.) You are looking for a corn based cereal that has been rolled out to a flake. Make sense? Back to the top of the cornflake cookies recipe.

Not sure why we think men need chocolate. But, it's a cyclical. I see it every year - all my chocolate dessert recipes get the highest viewings. So, to give you some ideas - here's what most of us cook for our men on Fathers Day: Recipe for Chocolate Cheesecake (I love this because it uses sour cream, and makes the chocolate have the bittersweet deep end flavor Chocolate Walnut Cake Chocolate Buttermilk Cake (Uses 3 sticks of butter - I make this about 4 times a year!) And if you don't want chocolate? Another great holiday cake, that I make for celebrations: Italian Rum Cake (Give yourself a day ahead of time to make this. It needs to soak about 24 hours to flavor.) Lisa Would you like to share this page? You know how to do it! Thanks for sharing the sugar love! Contact Me Privacy Policy About
