  • Reviews

  • “Absolutly lovely, easy to make and scrummy. Taste a little bit like crunchy rusks.”

  • “These were delicious crisp little cookies that do indeed melt in your mouth! I made them using oats in place of the corn flakes, and they were very much enjoyed wth a cuppa. Made for Tea Party 2010. Thank you Mille.”

  • “Cookie turns out great except when mixed, dough too soft to handle, I have to increase flour to 200 before I can actually coat dough with cornflakes.”
