Eggless Cornflakes Cookies

This recipe has a good amount of butter in it, making it not as healthy as you may think it is. In case you thought you would eat healthy and bought a big packet of muesli or cornflakes, and then decide not to eat it, you can make this recipe :) Most of my recipes stem out of this dilemma! This recipe is really tasty as I added cinnamon flavoured honey muesli and with honey cornflakes.

Instructions

1. Grind the ½ cup cornflakes very coarsely and keep aside

6. Make balls out of the dough, slightly press it, toss it in the cornflakes well, covering the biscuits
