Ladies and gentlemen, today we’re trashing up our cookies with buttery toasted cornflakes, tons of toffee, and a heavy hand of chocolate chips. And that’s just what you can see on the outside! Hidden beneath their flashy exterior… brown butter…. brown sugar… vanilla… and the slightest pinch of cinnamon! You must promise me not to skip the cinnamon!

These babies are not your average chocolate chip cookie. That’s fo sho!

But who wants an average cookie? Not I. Not you. We aren’t afraid to get a little cray (that’s short for crazy) with our cookies… we ain’t afraid! After one bite these cookies will have your taste buds singing and your brain HOOKED. Let’s hop out of your cookie comfort zone together; hand in hand; side by side.

Let’s jump into the nitty gritty and talk recipe details, mmmk? First up, the cornflake crunch! Oh-mah-gosh-golly, y’all. I am obsessed with this stuff! I may or may not have eaten the first batch straight off the pan without saving even a crumb for baking! Ok —> I totally DID do that. And I recommend you do the same 😉 Or better yet, make a double batch. One half for snacking, one half for cookie baking. Look at us! Thinking smart.

But back to the crunchy crumbs! This awesome cereal trick is literally just cornflakes smashed up, tossed in butter (and sugar and cinnamon and salt), then baked for 25 minutes. It is simply epic and a must try! Cereal… not just for breakfast!

The other elements that contribute to making these cookies the awesomeness that they are include:

1. Brown butter!!! ALL OF IT. That’s right. We brown all tha butter. This is easy, done on the stove-top, and pretty much my favorite butter trick of all time. Don’t skip it!

2. Toffee. Le sigh. Toffee chips are amazing… and with the brown butter? They’re an impossibly amazing combo.

3. Chocolate chips… I used dark, but you could use semi-sweet if desired. I wouldn’t go down to milk chocolate only because the cookies are quite sweet, so adding milk chocolate may make it too much ALL IN YOUR FACE sweetness. It’s all about balance 😉

4) Brown sugar AND White sugar. You’ll want to be sure to use both sugars as instructed in the directions. I often get a lot of inquiries after a cookie recipe goes live asking if one can use ALL brown sugar or ALL white sugar. For this recipe in particular it is pertinent you use both.

Go bake yourself a batch of these thick, chewy, awesomely LOADED Buttered Cornflake Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies. So much taste and texture! Enjoy. xoxo

*The cornflake crunch does need to cool completely before getting mixed into the cookie dough, so be sure to make it first, or ahead of time.
