Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups cornflakes cereal
• 1 cup maraschino cherries, chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in the cornflakes cereal and chopped cherries.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: 9 cookies.

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature butter for the best results.

Don’t overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies.

If using salted butter, omit the 1 tsp of salt in the recipe.

Replace up to half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.

For an extra crunchy cookie, bake for 14-15 minutes.

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
