The Secret Ingredient In This Crunchy Butter Cookie Recipe Is Corn Flakes

16


I developed this butter crunch cookies recipe out of necessity. My family's beloved Polish Christmas crescent cookies recipe calls for pecans but they've become so costly, I replaced the nuts with crushed corn flakes (generic brands work just fine) and adjusted some of the other ingredients. The dough is scoopable and is egg- and nut-free -- great for those with allergies. The cookies store well and the kids will love crushing those corn flakes in a zip-top bag. For an economical pecan version, see my Corn Flake Pecan Sandies Recipe.
