Honey Corn Flake Cookie

Lunar New Year is approaching in about a month time. A time to start baking some cookies for the season celebration.

I have been seeing golden corn flake cookies but was yet to look for a recipe to try it out. I found a recipe "Honey Joys" and trimmed it down to a smaller portion for about 16 cookies.

Basically, these are cookies making use of corn flakes coated with caramel glaze. They are light and crunchy. The golden appearance of the cookies made them an auspicious cookie to be served during the festive period of Lunar New Years.

Yield: 16 cookies served in 5cm grease-proof baking casings

Ingredients

20g unsalted butter

12g raw sugar

pinch of low-sodium salt

6g honey

50g corn flakes

Directions

1. Discard corn flakes that are thicker or harder in texture. This helps to give a light and crunchy cookies by eliminating the occasional harder bits.

2. Melts all ingredients, except the corn flakes, in a small non-stick pan, using low flame.

3. When the contents start to foam,

pour in the corn flakes in batches. Allow the corn flakes to coat well before adding another batch. Turn off the heat when the mixing is done or earlier.

Ensure all the surface of the corn flakes are coated with the caramel.

4. While the content is still warm, scoop it into small grease-proof baking casings.

Loosely fill up the casings, try not to compact the content to make the cookies airy and light.

5. Transfer the filled casings to a baking tray.

6. Bake in a pre-heated oven toaster at 150℃ for about 10 minutes, or till you can smell a sweet caramel aroma.

7. Let the cookies cool down before serving.

Keep the un-consumed cookies in an air-tight container.

Enjoy 😋
