Chocolate Cornflakes Biscuits

It's been a while since I've baked some biscuits or cookies and came across this easy recipe so, I decided to give it a shot. Caitlin helped, too! And it turned out fantastic!!! Crunchy on the outside and soft like cake on the inside.

Ingredients: -
  • 125g butter, chopped
  • 1/2 cup castor sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp of vanilla essence/extract
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 1 cup cornflakes; 1 1/2 cups extra for coating (crushed)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup sultanas (raisins)
  • 1/2 cup chopped glaced cherries (I used a mixture of red and green for more colour)

1. Preheat oven at 180 degrees C'. Lightly grease 2 or 3 oven trays or you may opt for baking paper.
2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
3. Fold flour in. Add 1 cup of cornflakes, sultanas, chocolate chips and cherries.
4. On another separate bowl, put the crushed cornflakes.
5. Roll teaspoons of mixture into balls and then toss in the crushed cornflakes. Placed onto prepared trays with about 3cm in distance as the biscuits will expand.
6. Bake for about 10-15 mins or until golden.
7. Cool in trays for 5 mins before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

Ta da!!!! Easy...easy...recipe. Gonna make these for festive seasons next time.
