Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups cornflakes cereal lightly crushed
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Notes
Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. The cornflake crunch is best enjoyed within 3 days. Make-ahead: You can scoop and coat the cookie dough balls, then freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the bake time. Variations: Try milk chocolate or white chocolate chips instead of semisweet. For extra flavor, add 1 tsp of cinnamon to the cornflake mixture. Serving suggestion: These cookies pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
