If you like cookies with a little bit of crunch, these chocolate chip cornflake cookies are for you. The recipe makes a nice sized batch and the cookies have a perfect mix of flavor and texture.
These cookies are on the crunchy side to start with, then they have the added crunch of bits of cornflakes cereal throughout. That not only adds texture, but a bit of almost caramelized malt type flavor to the mix.
That and the oats go so well with the cookie base and chocolate chips. These cookies are fabulous as written, and can be easily adapted to satisfy your cravings.
This recipe is from my coworker, June. She noticed that my 7 cup cookie recipe was a lot like one of her favorite cookies that involved chocolate chips and cornflakes.
June was nice enough to send over the recipe, so of course I had to give them a go. They were an instant hit, and I can’t wait to make another batch for my grandma.
She loves her cookies with a bit of crunch. So these are going to go perfectly with her coffee.
The Dough
Just like in the 7 cup cookies, this dough uses a mix of butter and vegetable oil. I think that combination is what gives them their crunch, but they still keep a tender quality too.

There is a mix of cornflakes and oatmeal in these cookies. You could easily substitute part of one of those items for something like coconut.
You could also mix in some chopped pecans or walnuts if you like them in your cookies. The dough would easily take anywhere from a half cup to a full cup of nuts.
The dough is on the soft side, even after it has been chilled. Don’t let that through you off, just bake them and see how good they are.

My grandma’s recipe for potato chip cookies is another good one. They have almost a shortbread texture and a nice balance of sweet and salty.
Or try some kitchen sink cookies. They feature a mix of pretzels, chocolate chips, and caramel bits.

I’ve made these three times since Christmas. I love them!! They are so easy to make and always come out perfect. I think having oil in the cookie mix gives them extra crunch and texture. It’s now my favorite cookie recipe.
I am so happy that you like them so much! I think the oil is the secret too, it does give cookies a different texture that is really nice.
These chocolate chip cornflake cookies sound delicious! I never would have thought to combine these ingredients, but now I’m definitely going to give them a try.
I hope you love them!
