CHERRY CHIP CORNFLAKE COOKIES



Cherry Chip Cornflake Cookies image

This cookie is the number one favorite in our family. The recipe originated from the back of a package of Barg and Foster Cherry Chips, probably in the early 1960's. The chips are very hard to find where I live, but if you are lucky enough to find them in your area, these are wonderful!
