How to Make Cornflake Crunchies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease one or more baking sheets with cooking spray or butter.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon of orange extract. Mix until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 6 cups of cornflakes cereal and 1 cup of chopped nuts (your choice!).
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  10. Let the cookies stand on the baking sheet for about 1 minute before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
