Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 ¼ cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups Gluten Free cornflakes NOT crushed
  • 1 ¼ cups sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1 ½ cups pecan or walnut crumbs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F
  • Cream butter and sugar until very fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add dry ingredients and beat on high speed in mixer for 5-7 minutes. Scrape bowl often.
  • Scoop out cookies (a little smaller than a golf ball) and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Do not grease the pan.
  • Flatten cookies gently with your fingers (moistening them slightly will help keep the dough from sticking.)
  • Bake for 11-14 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and leave on pan until stiff enough to handle (about 5-7 minutes). The cookies will be very soft when they first come out of the oven.

Notes

Store cookies in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
