Cornflakes Cookies

Directions

  1. Add unsalted butter and sugar in a mixing bowl; whisk until pale yellow.
  2. In another mixing bowl; add eggs, vanilla essence and Sunkist® Navel orange zest. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Combine Step 1 and 2. Mix well. Set batter aside.
  4. Sift all-purpose flour and cornstarch together.
  5. Fold in mixed flour into batter gradually to avoid lumps.
  6. Scoop out one teaspoon of the cookie dough. Roll each dough ball with the lightly crushed cornflakes and diced candied orange.
  7. Transfer the cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; the cookies should be 3cm apart as they will expand.
  8. Bake at 350F。 for 20 minutes or until golden brown; your cornflakes should be crispy and the doughy part dry and flaky to the bite.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for a minute before transferring to wire racks to cool.
  10. Once cooled, store in an airtight container immediately.
