Cornflake Cookies (without Corn Syrup)

Cornflakes Cookies are a crispy, crunchy treat that takes little time and effort to make and bake.

Best of all you'll just need 5 ingredients for this recipe (and I bet you don't need to go shopping!): cornflakes, eggs, sugar, almonds, and cinnamon.

Don't have cinnamon? You can skip it and make it a 4-ingredient cookie.

Check below for some additional tips and tricks.

What You'll Need

• ⅔ cup SUGAR
• 3 EGG WHITES
• 3-4 ounces SLICED ALMONDS
• 3 ounces CORNFLAKES
• 1 teaspoon CINNAMON

How To Make Cornflake Cookies

Making these cookies is incredibly easy!

Prep

• Preheat the oven to 325° Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a silpat).
• In a large bowl combine cornflakes, almonds, and cinnamon. Set aside.

1. Combine sugar and egg whites in a small saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until the mixture becomes thick, frothy, and creamy. 
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the egg white syrup to cool for about 2-3 minutes. 
3. Pour the egg white syrup mixture over the cornflakes. Use a spatula to combine well.

Making The Cornflake Cookie Mixture

4. Place tablespoon-sized dollops of the mixture onto a baking sheet.
5. Bake for 18-20 minutes at

Tips and Tricks

• This is a great recipe to experiment with. Instead of of cinnamon you can use other spice mixes such as all spice or pumpkin spice.
• Don't immediately pour the hot egg white syrup over the cornflakes. The syrup should be warm but not hot.
• Use a retractable ice cream scoop to portion out the cookie mixture.
• Store cookies in an airtight cookie jar for up to a month. (They've never lasted this long in our house!)
• My husband has polished off an entire batch of these in 2 days. So you might think about double batching if your family's got a sweet tooth. 😉
