Who doesn’t love an easy cookie that combines salty and sweet? These sweet treats can easily be made with things you have on hand. You can also make them your own by subbing ingredients.
Honey Cornflake Cookies
Ingredients
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 2 ½ cups cornflakes

- Flaky sea salt, for garnish
- Dark or milk chocolate melting wafers for dipping, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Add almonds and cornflakes and gently stir until all pieces are coated with honey mixture.
- Use a small scoop or spoon to create 1-inch mounds of the cornflake mixture on the prepared pans. Top each with sprinkles and a pinch of sea salt.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on pan for 15 minutes until firm.
- While cookies are cooling, melt chocolate in a double boiler or a heat-safe pan set over simmering water. Alternately, microwave according to pack instructions.
