Jaimie's Birthday Weekend

To celebrate my friends Jaimie's birthday, we went on a girls weekend away. Jessica, Jaimie, Amy, myself and little Isaiah are taking it easy, eating, chatting and enjoying the wild life.

Crisp Cornflake Cookies

This is a recipe I hunted down in a cookbook store when we lived in Toronto (1980). We had these cookies at Alan Gross's cottage - his mother brought them.

1 cup butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 flour

3 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 salt

1 tsp vanilla

5 cups cornflakes, crushed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, and gradually blend in sugar. Beat in egg. Combine and sift in flour, baking powder and salt. Add vanilla. Measure cornflakes before crushing. Crush and add to butter mixture. Drop by teaspoons by about 1 1/2" apart on greased cookie sheet . Press as flat as possible with fork dipped in cold water. Bake 10 min.
