Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup softened butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups cornflakes, lightly crushed
- 6 ounces chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep Oven & Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Mix in Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract until everything is smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix just until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix!
- Fold in Goodies: Gently fold in the oats, crushed cornflakes, and chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Scoop & Bake: Scoop the dough into 3-tablespoon sized balls and place on the baking sheets, leaving a couple of inches between each. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Notes
- Serving: These cookies are amazing fresh from the oven with a glass of cold milk.
- Tips & Tricks: The key to the best texture is using softened butter, not melted. To keep your cookies perfectly round, use a cookie scoop.
- Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the dough balls for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, just add a few extra minutes to the cook time.
