1/2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

Soften and Whisk the Butter
Ensure 100g of unsalted butter is softened to room temperature. Whisk the butter until it is smooth and creamy.
Cream with Powdered Sugar
Add 80g of powdered sugar to the butter. Mix well until the mixture is light and thoroughly combined.

Fold in Raisins and Combine
Add 40g of raisins. Gently fold the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and no dry flour is visible. Your cookie dough is now ready.
Prepare the Coating
Prepare a bowl filled with about 80g of crunchy cornflakes.
Portion and Shape
Scoop approximately 35g of dough per cookie. Gently press and shape the dough into a flattened disc with your hands.
Coat with Cornflakes
Place the dough into the bowl of cornflakes, pressing lightly so the surface is evenly and thoroughly coated with flakes.
Arrange for Baking
Place the coated dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat the process for the rest of the dough, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for even baking.

Cooking & Storage Tips

Storage: To maintain the signature crispy texture, store any leftover cookies in an airtight container immediately after they have cooled completely.
Cornflake Texture: When coating the cookies, try not to crush the cornflakes too much. Keeping the flakes mostly whole provides a more dramatic and satisfying “crunch” in every bite.
Don’t Overmix: When adding the flour, mix only until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a tougher cookie rather than a light, tender interior.
