CHERRY CHIP CORNFLAKE COOKIES

Cherry Chip Cornflake Cookies image

This cookie is the number one favorite in our family. The recipe originated from the back of a package of Barg and Foster Cherry Chips, probably in the early 1960's. The chips are very hard to find where I live, but if you are lucky enough to find them in your area, these are wonderful!

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup soft butter or 1 cup margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup corn flakes (crumbled)
5 ounces miniature cherry chips

Cream butter, sugar, egg and flavoring.

Press with fork lenthwise and crosswise, and sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove from pan while warm.

Tips:

Use fresh cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before using and drain off any excess liquid.
If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cherries and cornflakes by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well into the cookie dough.
Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Cherry cornflake cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover cherries. With their sweet and tart flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy cookie recipe, give cherry cornflake cookies a try.
