Cookie month #8: Raisin and cornflake cookies

This is a lighter cookie from the ANZAC and the dark chocolate chip, and certainly not as sweet – the perfect light morning tea snack with a cup of hot tea.

Makes 28 cookies

INGREDIENTS

  • 125g butter, chopped, at room temperature
  • ⅔ cup caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1¼ cups self-raising flour, sifted
  • 4 tbs milk
  • 1½ cups cornflakes
  • ½ cup raisins

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2.  

  3. Using electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla essence in a mixing bowl until creamy. Add the flour and mix on low speed until just combined.
     

  4. Add milk and mix until dough comes together. Using a wooden spoon, stir in cornflakes and raisins, and mix until well combined.
  5.  

  6. Roll tablespoons of the dough into balls. Place onto baking trays with enough space between each ball for spreading. Flatten slightly with a spatula.
     

  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until light golden. Stand for 5 minutes on tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Note: If the raisins remain puffed up after the cookies have cooled, you have burnt them.
