Crunchy Cornflake Cookies

I triple love these cookies.

You can make use of those extra crushed cornflakes you have left over from making nuggets. (tsulin, I promised you this).

For reasons unknown, there were cookies left over even after one week & they still remained crunchy (I kept them in a biscuit tin). They were great for that mid afternoon snack on the site with a cup of coffee.
