Crunchy Cookies


Makes:  15 Cookies

Ingredients:

6 Tbl (90g) Flora Light Margarine

1/3 Cup Sugar

1 Egg White

2 Tbl Dessicated Coconut

1/2 Cup Sultanas or Craisins (optional)

1 Cup Self-Raising Flour

2 Tbl Skim Milk

2 Cups Corn Flakes

Cooking Spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 180C fan forced.

In a large mixing bowl, cream margarine and sugar.

Add egg white and beat.

Fold in corn flakes until ingredients are combined.

Drop a dessertspoon of mixture onto a baking tray that has been coated with cooking spray or lined with baking paper.

Flatten each cookie.

Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool on wire rack.

LunchBox Tips….

Make sure your cookies are golden before removing from the oven, otherwise the corn flakes will be chewy and you won’t end up with a crunchy cookie.

VARIATIONS:  For a plain biscuit omit sultanas/craisins.

You could replace the fruit with 1/2 Cup of Chocolate Chips.
