Notes

  • You can use brown sugar all the way however they will look darker once baked.
  • You don’t have to roll the cookies in cornflakes before baking but they add a delicious crunch with each bite.
  • If you have an electric hand beater you can use it to cream the fat and sugar together.
  • In stead of the corn meal you can use freeze dried corn (but you will have to make this) or you can blend up raw popcorn kernels until it is a fine powder.
  • You will need a spice grinder or coffee grinder to make it. You can also blend cornflakes until it is coarse and use that instead.
  • If you want to amp up the corn flavor you can toast the corn flakes.
  • You can add half the salt into the dough and sprinkle the top with sea salt flakes.
