Ingredients

• Cookies:
• 2 sticks butter, at room temperature
• 1 1/4 c. granulated sugar
• 2⁄3 c. tightly packed light brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 t. peppermint extract
• 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/2 t. baking powder
• 1/2 t. baking soda
• 1 1/2 t. kosher salt
• 1 recipe Cornflake Crunch (recipe follows)
• 2⁄3 c. mini chocolate chips
• 40 peppermints or 18 candy canes, crushed
• 1 ¼ c. mini marshmallows
• Cornflake Crunch:
• 1/2 (12-ounce) box (5 cups) cornflakes
• 1/2 c. milk powder
• 3 T. sugar
• 1 t. kosher salt
• 9 T. butter, melted

Steps

1. Cornflake Crunch:
2. Heat oven to 275 degrees.
3. Pour cornflakes into a medium bowl: crush to one-quarter of their original size. Add the milk powder, sugar, and salt; toss to mix. Add butter; toss to coat. The butter will bind the dry ingredients to the cereal and creating small clusters.
