Cornflake cookies

This time Baking Patners group decided to go with the theme cookies. There where three cookies from which we had to bake one or can bake all. All the three cookies were too good, but due to time constraints with a kid and some guests around I opted to go with one. So I selected Cornflake cookies suggested by Priya from a cookbook called "Baking: Commonsense Guide by Murdoch  Books". Thanks for that recipe..The cookies were awesome, crispy outside and soft inside ..Do give it a try..
