Nutty Fruity Chewy Cornflake Cookies

These are my darling hubby’s favourite cookies so I make them fairly often and the cookie jar is always wiped clean in no time. Nutty Fruity Chewy Cornflake Cookies!
Servings: 3 Dozen

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup margarine or butter at room temperature (I prefer butter)
  • 1 cup crushed nuts I used wholenuts, almonds and pistachios but you can use any
  • 1/2 cup dates deseeded and chopped into small pieces
  • 2 cups cornflakes crushed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 cups flour

Method
 

  1. Cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well. Add the vanilla and mix. Then, fold in with a wooden spoon the dry ingredients a little at a time until well incorporated.
    Drop the cookie dough by the teaspoon onto a greased or lined tray leaving space around the cookies. Flatten the cookies slightly by pressing them with your finger. Bake at 170 C for 10-12 mins. Cool on a rack and store in an airtight container.
