I Cook~I Bake~I Live: CNY Bakes - Cornflake Cookies with Cranberries

Chinese New Year is just around the corner. I dread the spring cleaning.. as a matter of fact, I have started cleaning since Dec 2012 but I can't seem to complete my cleaning spree! Weekends are always spent with my boys, or me slacking at home catching up on my sleep. I shall start cleaning tonight, starting with arranging the boys cupboard, kitchen cabinet then washing their CNY clothes. Speaking of which, I only gotten myself 2 top from Love, Bonito and a pair of Gap jeans (during Black Friday sale, woohoo!). Still need to get another dress for Grampa's birthday dinner and a bottom to go with another top.

I digress, this post is about CNY bakes. I made it a point to bake more variety and quantity this year, to give away to family and friends. ^_^
Cornflake cookies is one of my many fave cookies and was glad one forumer posted her recipe on Munch Ministry. Thank you Molly Tay for sharing your recipe and giving us tips along the way.
I added cranberries to the cookies for that extra crunch though. You can add other like almonds, macadamia nuts too.

Cornflake cookies (Molly Tay's recipe)

100g unsalted butter, room temperature

100g castor sugar

175g self-raising flour

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract (I added this for that extra oomph)

3/4 cup crushed cornflake

Chopped cranberries

How?

- Using a wooden spoon, cream butter and sugar together.

- Add egg and vanilla extract. Mix well.

- Add flour and mix until just combined (do not overmix as it will cause the cookie to turn hard)

- Add chopped cranberries.

- Round 1 tsp of dough and cover it with crushed cornflake. Flatten it abit using a fork.

- Bake at 170C for 18 - 20 minutes.

Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider
worries that they just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
