Description
Delicious and crunchy cookies with Toffifee and cornflakes. Maybe not your usual ingredients for cookies but a really nice combination!
Ingredients
For the dough:
1/2 cup (120g) butter, melted
1 cup (130g) muscovado sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1.8 oz. (50g) Toffifee, chopped
For the coating:
2 cups (50g) cornflakes
1/4 cup (50g) sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
pinch of cardamom
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Melt the butter and let cool down a bit. Chop the Toffifee candy and set aside.
2. Add the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla extract to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until well combined. Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Do not overmix! Add the chopped Toffifee and fold in. Set aside for about 10 minutes so the flour can hydrate.
3. Crush the cornflakes lightly in a small bowl – you want smaller pieces but not tiny crumbs. Mix the sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom for the finish in a small bowl and set aside. Use a cookie scoop (ice cream scoop) or tablespoons to make small dough balls (about 1 1/2 tbsp. each). Cover those balls one after another with the crushed cornflakes and then roll them in the spiced sugar. Place with some space in between on the prepared baking sheet (they spread a bit) and bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges have set. Take out of the oven and let cool down for a while on the baking sheet until you can move them, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

Enjoy baking!
