Outrageously Delicious Oatmeal Cookies

These Crunchy Frostbite Cookies are ridiculous!! Ridiculously good that is! I’ve had this recipe on my list of things to bake for a while, but never got around to baking them until now. That was our loss because these cookies are crazy good. Oatmeal cookies loaded with cornflakes and dipped in white chocolate. YUM! The white chocolate or almond bark on the bottom is a MUST.  The cookies are good plain, but the chocolate puts them over the top!  These will be in the regular cookie rotation at our house.

How to Make Crunchy Frostbite Cookies

These cookies are very easy to make. Start with beating some shortening with a mixer. Add sugar and brown sugar. Mix until fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs. Combine baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour. Add to the batter and mix well. Stir in oatmeal and cornflakes. Scoop the dough with a medium cookie scoop. Slightly flatten the tops of the cookie balls and bake. Let the cookies cool completely and dip the bottoms into melted almond bark. Once the almond bark has set, dig in!

• I used Crisco shortening in these cookies. I have not made this recipe with butter, so I don’t know how they will turn out. Substituting butter will change the texture of the cookie. They may also come out flatter.
• I did not crush the cornflakes before measuring them.
• Feel free to add some shredded coconut to the cookie dough.
• Feel free to substitute white chocolate chips for the almond bark. I use almond bark because it melts better and smoother.
• You can make the cookie dough ahead of time and freeze it for later.
  • Scoop the dough and flatten the tops slightly. Pop the dough in the freezer. Once the dough is frozen, place it in a freezer bag and put back into the freezer until you are ready to bake.
  • There is no need to thaw the cookie dough before baking. Simply add a few minutes to the cooking time.
• You can freeze the baked cookies for later. You can freeze them dipped or undipped. Either way is just fine.
• The cookies will keep 3 or 4 days in an air-tight container.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Beat 1 cup shortening at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugars, beating well. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add flour mixture, mixing just until blended. Stir in oats and cornflakes.
• Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls, 2″ apart, onto lightly greased baking sheets; flatten slightly.
