Oh my word!! These are absolutely irresistible! Use unsalted butter for depth of flavor. I toasted the pecans (spread in a single layer on a baking sheet, bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 5 minutes, flip the nuts over using a pancake turner, and bake 5 minutes more, or until they become fragrant. Watch so they don't burn.) Also added a slight dash of real almond extract. Both these measures really make the flavor pop! I've made both with all white sugar as written and with half brown sugar, and the consensus here is that the brown sugar flavor is richer. The ingredients might not sound like much, but believe me, the flavor really is all that. They're nice and crunchy, making for an extremely satisfying cookie experience.

I agree these are stupid good! I followed the recipe exactly except I fridged the dough overnight and rolled them into 58 1-1/2 inch balls instead of 1 inch. (Baked cookies were 3 inches diameter) I also measured the flakes out before crushing and crushed them just until they lost that round flake shape and ended up with just a little over 2 cups crushed flakes. Baked 2 sheets at a time, rotating top and bottom sheets after 6 min and baking 6 min more. I was a little worried at first when I bit into one as soon as the first batch cooled down. I didn't like the way the cornflake bits stuck to my teeth. However, after a few hours that sticky-chewiness goes away and you're left with a very buttery cookie that has a delicate crunch to it. They're aptly named. This is a new favorite!

These cookies are really yummy. My daughter said "these cookies are stupid-good"! I guess that is a pretty high compliment. lol I did use half regular sugar and half brown sugar and added two lightly beaten eggs. Next time I will probably cut the salt back to 1/4 tsp. I measured the cornflakes first and then crushed them. Also, note that these are thin cookies. I will definately make these again!

sounds like it would not be that good.... but they were a HIT! everyone loves them!

I followed the recipe exactly and they didn't look like the picture or taste anything like I expected. Way too salty. I don't know what I did wrong. Next time I will cut the salt add eggs and brown sugar like another reviewer.
