This recipe comes from my time working at the 1811 House in Manchester, Vermont. This is Marnie’s recipe exactly as she created it. The surprise ingredient of corn flakes makes them especially delicious. Thank you, Marnie, for a wonderful cookie recipe!
This is a crisp cookie. If you are looking for a soft, chewy chocolate chip cookie this is not the recipe to use.
