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

- 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. 😉
