Buttery Cornflakes Cookies

Do you prefer cornflakes match with fresh milk or cornflakes make into cookies? For me I like cornflakes makes into cookies.

As the CNY festive period is around the corner, wherever I go I will be able to saw lot of different types of cookies wonder in my eyes and it turn my mood inwards making cookies too. Making and baking the cookies myself is much much cheaper compare from buying from the commercial.

I will try not to make those too complicated and arduous cookies because I'm lazy to spend time and effort making it. Heehee... Example like pineapple tarts, you have to slice & cook the pineapple and make sure is not too sweet nor too sour and be careful not to burn the pineapple while frying it etc...
For those high challenge task, I will rather buy from the commercial.

 
I choose this simple and easy tasks, cornflakes cookies. It doesn't require many ingredients and is fast and easy to make.

The cookies is very crispy and soft in the inside but the cornflakes is too much that it cover away the buttery dough. Is my fault because I thought more cornflakes will give me the crispy punch. Hmm I will reduce the cornflakes for the next batch and shall see if the texture will be better.
