Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cornflake Cookies

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife October 23, 2015November 12, 2020

I made these delicious crunchy chocolate chip cornflake cookies last week for the kids as an after school snack, they gave them the thumbs up, which is always a good thing!  It made 30 cookies so placed the left overs in the freezer for the kids lunch boxes.

This is another recipe that reminds me of my Nan, she made them often as I think they were one of my pops favourites.  In my recipe I add a few chocolate chips, she just used sultanas.

I rolled a heaped tablespoon of mixture into balls, which made good size biscuits. You can make them as big or small as you like, just keep an eye on them during the cooking process.

Can I freeze the dough (before rolling spoonfuls in c-flakes)? If yes, how long will it last? Thanks 🙂

What a great recipe! It combines pretty much all of my favourite ingredients in one especially chocolate.

ooh, it’s a nice hidden surprise and can be easily omitted if preferred to 🙂

Katrina, firstly, I adore your website and am feeling so motivated 🙂 And secondly, I visited my mum today and she sent me home with a tub of cornflake cookies for my girls’ lunch boxes… spooky!!

how do you think these would go without coconut and sultanas? my family wouldnt eat them otherwise.

Reply
Kylie Mayne September 6, 2012 - 2:07 PM

I’d like to know this too. My kids are a little young for coconut, and wont eat sultanas (neither will I…)

Thanks for reminding me about these yummy cookies. A dear friend shared this recipe many years ago but she called them chockky rocks. Same recipe with a different name.

Reply
Karen October 23, 2015 - 11:01 AM

Yes, Chockky Rocks is the correct name for kids born in the 60s and 70s like me. My grandmother always had these when we visited. I recently found her recipe book and she had this recipe cut from the Cornflakes box back in the 70s stuck in it. Lots of memories in that recipe for me.

Reply
Kate December 2, 2015 - 11:48 PM

Yes! Chocky Rocks were a bit favourite when I was growing up. And they were my grandad’s favourite, too.

This is a guest post by Vicki from Boiled Eggs and Soldiers As it’s the school holidays I’ve been thinking about activities to do with the kids.

I made the cornflake cookies last weekend (without the coconut due to allergies) but I found that the kids preferred either the sultanas OR the choc chips so I halved my batch and just added them. was a hit!! didn’t last long enough to be put in freezer.

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife June 13, 2016 - 8:51 AM

LOL, maybe a double batch next time!!!

Reply
Katherine July 11, 2016 - 4:50 PM

Yum!!! Just made these today, unfortunately didn’t have any choc chips or sulatanas but I substituted with 1 1/2 cups of pitted dates that I blitzed a bit in the food processor (just bog standard dates, not the medjool ones. Worked out fine! Thanks for the great freelance lunchbox ideas x

In all honesty though, I have a lot of boxes I like ticked when picking the perfect vacuum cleaner. Visit the link in my bio to see if Miele’s first handstick vacuum managed to tick all these boxes for me!

White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies 🍪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This recipe was contributed by Tracey (a lovely member of our community!). She suggests using an ice cream scoop to shape the cookies, which should give them a lovely rippled texture on top. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The base recipe without the white chocolate and cranberries can be used for any alternative ingredients like dark choc bits and macadamias. The full recipe is on my blog! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

PS - I would suggest adjusting the sugar quantities to your own tastes if you prefer cookies to be less sweet! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
