Cornflakes Cookies 玉米片曲奇

An all time favourite for festive season and tea-time treat. Buttery, crispy, and studded with crunchy flakes.

This is also one of my family favorite Chinese New Year goodies. My husband likes the buttery cookies that are crunchy outside but soft inside. It taste like danish butter cookies with fakes. The trick is not to overwork the dough or over-bake it.
