Cornflake Cherry Cookies

Yes I'm in cookie mode!

Made pineapple tarts on Tuesday and cornflake cookies yesterday!

I enlisted the help of my darling baby boy since he wasn't sleepy yet. Junior was glad to help!


Junior trying his best to drop the dough, most of the time failing haha. But I let him continue still and rearranged them later.

I love my mum's cornflake cookie recipe so I tried to get it from her. Sadly the recipe isn't complete as there's no measurement for flour. In her words, as long as can drop off the spoon can oredi. Like how vague is that!! T_T

So I searched for other recipes trying to see if I can sorta estimate, and yesterday I used only 3 cups flour. Less flour is better than too much flour, but the cookies were quite sweet. Maybe 4 cups could be okay too?

Anyway. Here's the recipe!

Cornflake Cherry Cookies

250g salted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 small box of Kellogg's cornflakes, 275g
diced cherries
diced almonds

  1. Cream butter and sugar together, then adding in the eggs and mix well.
  2. Add the flour until the right consistency and taste, hence that's why I stopped at 3 cups. Didn't dare try 4.
  3. Add in cherries, almonds and cornflakes. Crush the cornflakes as you mix, something Junior loves to do haha!
  4. Spoon batter using a teaspoon, drop them onto the pan with 1 inch apart from each other.
  5. Depending how you want the cookies to be (all crunchy or slightly chewy centre), bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 14 - 18 minutes.



So colourful! I wanted only red cherries but Junior insisted to pour in the green ones too, hence we have colourful cookies!


All done in 2 and a half hours :) Started at 9pm and ended at 11.30 and I wasn't tired. I guess you won't be tired doing something you love. Yay! So cookies for my home is settled! Made 2 types, ordered 2 types. Am planning to do one more batch of pineapple tarts to give my parents and in-laws. And maybe another one for the house judging by how fast stock is depleting -_-"

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead.  Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

 I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho
