I saw the recipe for ‘Crunchy Cookies’ on a TV cookery show. I liked the recipe since it looked quite simple, very few ingredients which I had at home, it needed only Wheat Flour and the cookies were baked for just 10 mins, in the microwave of course! So it gave me a chance to utilize my microwave for something other than just reheating.
I made them and sent them to my sweet little nieces (aged 2 and 4) in Mumbai; it’s a fantastic ‘Khau’(snack) for small kids.
These ‘Crunchy Cookies’ are also my Christmas present to Zuzana of Zlamushka’sspicy Kitchen. I know Christmas is still far away but I am sending them for her blog event ‘A Spoonful of Christmas’!
Zuzana please accept my Christmas present!

Crunchy Cookies recipe
_____________________________________________________
- 1 Cup Wheat Flour , sieved
- xbe Cup sugar Powdered , sieved (The original recipe asked for 1 cup )
- xbd cup Butter (cold)
- 1 cup Cornflakes crunchy
- 1 egg
- Cold water if required for kneading.
- Mix the Wheat flour and sugar.
- Add cold butter. I used Amul butter. If you are using unsalted butter add a pinch of salt to it.
- Rub in the butter with the Flour-sugar mixture. The mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the egg and mix nicely.
- Add a little cold water if the mixture is too dry.
- Add the cornflakes and mix nicely. The mixture should be cold. If it is not cold refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes.
- Grease a microwave proof dish/tray.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto it .
- `
- Bake in the combi (convection/microwave) mode for 7-8 minutes or till the cookies become crisp.
- Alternatively bake them at 180oC.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking tray for 5 minutes and then remove them on the wire rack to cool completely.
Variation:I made 1 lot with the above recipe. To the next lot I added 2 tbsp drinking chocolate and they tasted yummy.

I too searched for a good recipe of corn flake cookies the same month and ended up in making them somehow…could have followed this perfect recipe!!
They look really great!!!!
Interesting recipe and this is something we can try out on the spur of the moment since all the ingredients are generally available to home. I tried this out today and it came out well, though it took more than 10 mins, almost 25 mins for 1 batch. Any tips on how to speed up the process?
