preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius

Ensure the butter is softened / at room temperature, beat butter,and sugar together until as white as possible

Add egg and vanilla, beat until well combined

Add flour, I then beat the dough with my head held electric beater on low, but, you can beat it with a wooden spoon if you prefer

Once it has come together as a dough, stir through the raisins

In a medium bowl roughly crush the cornflakes

Take large spoonfuls of the cookie dough and roll into a ball, To do this I use a large tablespoon, ie the 20ml Australian tablespoon (kiwi tablespoons are only 15ml)

press the ball into the crushed cornflakes, you want to flatten the ball when doing this into a cookie shape

Place onto a lined baking tray

Do this until you have used all the dough, I usually get 20 cookies

Bake for 12-15 minutes, the cookies are usually still soft at this point, they firm up when they cool

Enjoy!
