Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups quick oats
• 2 cups cornflakes, lightly crushed
• 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the oats, crushed cornflakes, and optional raisins or chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
