Ginger Cornflake Crispies
These Ginger Cornflake Crispies are similar to the Cherry Cookies I made previously. Mostly because the ‘crispy’ part of the biscuit comes from being rolled in crushed cornflakes before they are baked. And just goes to prove that cereal isn’t just for breakfast. Or for traybakes. You can use it in cookies as well!
I typically get about 13 Ginger Cornflake Crispies out of this recipe, using a scoop that’s about 1.5 tbsp in size. Obviously, if you make yours larger or smaller, then you’ll need to adjust your bake time accordingly.
The cookies don’t spread much as they’re baking, so don’t just leave them as balls of dough, you can flatten them down. And they are still quite soft when they come out of the oven, so it’s best to leave them on your baking tray for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Just make sure that you’ve taken your butter out of the fridge in advance of making these, as it will make the creaming of the butter and sugar much easier. If you forget to do this (and we’ve all done that!), don’t panic, just cut the butter into small cubes and it will come up to temperature much faster that way.

Hi is it granulated or caster sugar please?
CJ
Either will work. If you have caster sugar, I’d use it but it’s not essential.
