I've been making these cookies for years from a recipe handed down from my grandmother. Basically the same receipe, but we didn't crush the cereal. Best if baked on parchment paper or silicone sheets for easy removal. Always a favorite with my family and friends.

Everytime I have made these, they are a hit with people at work, and my family. The last time I made was at Christmas 2008 and my mom just loves these cookies.

Very good cookie recipe! It is not a macaroon, but it is gooey and coconutty, and that's all that matters tonight! The only thing is I followed the 18 minutes @ 350 degrees...WAY TOO LONG! Cookies were too dark and crunchy, but still yummy. I had some leftover cinnamon sugar from another recipe, and used that..it was good! Next time, I will be trying one of the other suggestions about adding almond extract.

So simple to make!! And wonderful to eat! I used Almond flavored Honey Bunches of Oats cereal, and added 1/2 t almond extract and 1/4 t cinnamon to the egg whites while beating them. They were wonderful. As soon as I put them on the rack to cool they were gone! I didn't even have to get a plate to put them on...they never lasted long enough!

This is an excellent recipe. Very easy and it turned out great. We liked these cookies so much we made them several days in a row. Also, I used Special K cereal instead of cornflakes and added about a teaspoon of coconut extract when I added the sugar. Will certainly make these again -- thank you for posting this recipe!!

These were just okay. They didn't really taste like traditional macaroons.

Make sure you use 2c. cereal crushed, not 2c. of crushed cereal! I lowered the oven temp. to 325 deg. and that was perfect. Next time I will cut back on the amount of sugar.

I was not impressed with this recipe. It was far too sweet even after I cut the sugar in half. It didn't have the right texture to be a macaroon.

The mixture was very crumbly..it fell apart before I could even get them on the cookie sheet to bake. So the next batch, I increased the egg whites to 4 and it turned out perfectly...even the flavor was very good.

Awesome! A definite hit in our house. The only thing I did differently was after beating the egg whites to stiff peaks, I beat in the sugar for several minutes then folded in the cornflakes and coconut. Also, I added some white chocolate chips- very very yummy! I have to make another bath today because these just flew out!

These were so easy to make and so good! The only change I made was to bake for only 9 minutes. What a great way to use the last of the corn flakes in the box! Thanks, Kathie!

This was a wonderful cookie , I did adjust some if it. I added a half cup more of corn flakes. Depending on how sweet you like your cookies, I would adjust sugar to 1/2. Will keep making thanks so much for sharing.
