How to Make Farm Journal's Corn Flake Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut and 4 cups corn flakes until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. **Freezing Raw Dough:** Scoop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets and freeze until solid. Transfer frozen dough balls to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months. Bake from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to baking time.
  11. **Freezing Baked Cookies:** Wrap cooled cookies individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 6 weeks.
  12. **Thawing Frozen Cookies:** Thaw frozen cookies in the refrigerator overnight.
