It's Gluten Free! Crunchy Chewy Cornflake Cookies Recipe

Six years ago, I created a crunchy cornflakes cookies recipe, but not gluten free version, i used wheat flour back then. 

That was before I realized the side effect of gluten. When i learn that Gluten contribute to leaky gut problems, I stopped making cornflakes cookies because the recipe using wheat flour.

Until recent years, I found gluten-free cornflakes in the market. Wuu!! 

And this year, 2024, I created a new recipe, new calculation for cornflakes cookies, and of course, this time it's gluten-free! 

I calculated the flour ratio in the recipe and only used 2 types of gluten free flour.

The result is cookies that are crispy on the outside, and slightly soft and chewy on the inside.

The taste is really delicious, rich, and slightly sweet. Just using two types of gluten-free flour is sufficient to make tasty cookies. 

In Malaysia, we typically use one or two types of flour for cookies, kueh, pancake, etc and if it's bread, three types of flour are sufficient. You don't really need too many types of flour. 

Making it is very easy
