Christmas gift for boyfriend: Homemade cornflake cookies

from :::Nana-MikiKo:::

My girlfriend gave me cornflake cookies for me as a gift, and I remember how she was trying to keep this gift as a surprise.

When I received the gift, it was a big bottle with lots of cornflake cookies inside.

It’s a sweet gift, and I did enjoy my cornflake cookies. I guess that many girlfriend or wives out there may want to bake something lovely for your boyfriend or husband, so I decide to share this cornflake cookies recipe that my girlfriend used.

And since Christmas is coming, it will be nice to receive some homemade cookies from my girlfriend. I am sure your boyfriend or husband will appreciate it too.

I had a previous post about “Boyfriend Gift Guide: Baking pastries or cooking a meal for boyfriend“. I have discussed some advices and tips of how to give your boyfriend and husband some homemade cookies as a gift in that post.

I personally do not bake, but well, I can always ask my girlfriend for pointers.

Christmas gift for boyfriend: Baking cornflake cookies

Ingredients:
250g sugar
1.5 butter
2 eggs
600g flour
400-500g cornflake
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Please do not buy vanilla flavor, but get vanilla essence. My girlfriend made that mistake before and the vanila flavor did not bring out the fragrance of the cornflake cookies.

Steps to bake:

1.  Melt butter

2.  Cream butter and suger

3.  Add in 2 eggs

4.  Put vanilla essence

5.  Fold in flour

6.  Fold in cornflake

7.  Heat oven at 170deg

8.  Bake till golden brown

The recipe cooks about 50 pieces as shown in the pictures.

Other tips and advice

It sure looks easy but I suggest testing it out first, as it is important to practice to familiarize yourself with baking cornflake cookies if this is your first try.

Get a more experienced friend with you concerning baking if you need help.

Also remember, its the quality, and not the quantity that counts. In fact, although my girlfriend’s cornflake cookies taste good, but it was just too many in a big bottle, and I wasn’t able to finish all of them.

Final Words for this article

Baking a homemade gift for your boyfriend or husband is always a sweet idea for them, and best of all it is also an economical gift too.

However it takes time, effort and practice for your pastries to taste good. So please do some practice with baking on your own, or you might wonder why your cat is stuffed with cookies.

Anyway, I will be sharing more about other boyfriend gift ideas soon. Happy baking!
