Tips

No special items needed.

Made for the FYC Tag Game & picked for its simplicity plus the use of cornflakes (new fave ingredient). I'm sorry I got a poor result, but am sure I made the recipe as written. I worried about the lack of flour, baking powder or baking soda BUT mostly that there was only 2 tbsp of butter & 1 egg for moisture to bind 2 cups cornflakes, 1 cup coconut & 3/4 cup sugar. A "dough" mix never formed, so I hoped baking would fix the issues, but it didn't. I mounded the crumbly mix by hand for baking, but the cookies were VERY fragile & fell to pieces at the slightest touch (even after overnight refrigeration). The source of the recipe wasn't named, but I wonder if it's incomplete. I tried, but couldn't find it on the net. I hope you're able to resolve the issues. Good Luck!
