Attention holiday bakers! Today's Sunday Supper event is all about cookies. I was really excited as soon as I saw the notification. I have been known to bake a few cookies for Christmas. Well, that and a whole bunch of other treats. I know I my oven gets a real workout during the holidays. This year I wanted to try something new and I chose Christmas Crunchies cookies.
It is always fun to try new recipes. There are favorites like Carrot Cake and Rocky Road that I make every year. The new stuff keeps the routine from getting old. I like to surprise my family and friends with something different. These cookies have already been given to several friends and they were a hit. Now I have another recipe to add to my annual holiday cookie baking list.

I'm ready to start baking too, Renee! This cookie is packing a lot of crunch! I'm surprised to see cornflakes but I know it adds texture that will be loved! I'm going to be so busy pinning all these cookies today 🙂
I promise to bake gifts every year and never quite do everything I set out to. I never baked with corn flakes, but the idea of crunch and coconut sounds perfect to me! Have a great sunday Renee!
Great looking crunchies! And an exciting list of fun Christmas cookies for the Sunday Supper 😉
Found you at The Lovely Pantry. Great cookies! I've made these too!
Oooo, yum! These cookies sound amazing. I love the addition of cornflakes.
Thank you Jennie!
I love the "crunchies" in this cookie! YUM!
Thanks Jen. It is a wonderful combo of crunchies.
Any cookie with oats and coconut has got to taste amazing! And I love the extra crunch from the cornflakes!
I love the surprise of cornflakes. These look great, Renee! 🙂
Thanks Kelly!
Oh, I was waiting to see if these had corn flakes in them - I SO want to try...they sound delicious!
Thanks Heather. It is the first time I've baked with corn flakes and I'm glad I have some leftover to experiment with. They do make a nice crunch.
I'm going to run out of ink printing all these recipes out! These sound great Renee!
My bookmarks file on my computer is getting long...I need to start dividing it up too.
Oh these cookies look wonderful!!!
Beautiful cookies! Love those 3 figurines in the background - very Christmas-y!
Thanks! Amazing part is they are cheap dollar store figurines. I've had them for years and so enjoyed incorporating them into the photo.
Yum! I love crunchy cookies - these look so delicious! Beautiful presentation 🙂
Thank you Bea! I was really happy with my photo. I'm so glad you liked it too.
I love trying new cookie recipes! These look like a keeper.
Thanks Erin!
These look yummy ! Now I have to figure a way to make gluten free!!!
I would not even being to know how to make these gluten free. If you do, please share the recipe!
I'm laughing because we call Murray's dry food crunchies. He'll sure love these cookies 😉 Love the combination of coconut and pecans!
Oh funny! You will have to make them and see if Murray likes these crunchies.
Mmm, these sound wonderful!
These look interesting. I might sub something else for the coconut, but that's my quirk 😉
Yea Donna, I know you are not a fan of coconut. I am sure something else could be substituted quite nicely.
I haven't even had breakfast yet and you've already got me craving these cookies! 🙂
With the oats and cornflakes you could eat them for breakfast...
Gorgeous cookies, Renee! This week's Sunday Supper is seriously making me giddy with excitement - I love reading about and staring at everyone's delicious cookies. This is the second recipe I've seen featuring cereal and I'm very intrigued. I've never baked with it before and now I seriously have a hankering to do so. Thanks for the inspiration!
Oooh, love this combination, especially the cornflakes!
Sounds like a good breakfast cookie! Maybe I'd have one with my wheat cereal cookies!
Love the cornflake, oatmeal, coconut combination!
I love the ingredients in this cookie!!! And I'm also a fan of crunchy cookies in general...YUM!
What a fantastic cookie!! Love the coconut addition, I LOVE different kinds of cookies. Makes the holiday season!
Love this recipe!! So much yuminess!
This really looks like a great cookie. I will have to try and make these. Love the cornflakes in them!!
Oh how interesting, I haven't seen a recipe that used corn flakes like this before.
Yum!
