WORLD'S BEST COOKIES AKA THAT 70S ELUSIVE CORNFLAKE COOKIES



World's Best Cookies Aka That 70s Elusive Cornflake Cookies image

This wonderful recipe was in circulation when I was a kid in the 70s. Years later, a woman brought a tray of these to the office, which I instantly recognized as THOSE COOKIES FROM MY CHILDHOOD, and she refused to give me the recipe (said it was her babysitter's secret recipe)! I searched online (tried several recipes) and asked my friends and family off and on if they'd heard of it, for 10 years. I finally JUST found this online! They are SO GOOD! Bake them for your friends and family and share the recipe with the WORLD! Note, the number of cookies you get will vary - depending on how big you roll the balls.

Cornflake-Chocolate Chip-Marshmallow Cookies image

A bowl of cereal, s'more, and cookie all rolled into one, this recipe from Christina Tosi's "Momofuku Milk Bar" cookbook is guaranteed to please.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 15 to 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups Cornflake Crunch
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Cream together butter and both sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl and add egg and vanilla; beat for 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Reduce speed to low and add flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix just until dough comes together, no longer than 1 minute. Scrape down sides of bowl with a spatula.
  • With the mixer on low, add cornflake crunch and chocolate chips; mix until just combined, 30 to 45 seconds. Add mini marshmallows and mix until just incorporated.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 2 3/4-ounce ice-cream scoop or 1/3-cup measuring cup, portion dough out onto prepared baking sheet. Pat tops of cookie domes flat. Wrap baking sheet tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 1 week. Do not bake cookies from room temperature or they will not hold their shape.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line additional baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
  • Arrange chilled dough at least 4 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Transfer to oven and bake until puffed, cracked, spread, and browned on the edges, about 18 minutes. Let cool completely on baking sheets.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, which will make the cookies light and crispy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the dough from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Cornflake cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their crispy texture and sweet flavor, they are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
