Chocolate Cornflake Cookies

INGREDIENTS

• 4 ounces semi-sweet Baker's or couverture chocolate, (about ½ cup) chopped
• ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter
• 2 ½ cups cornflakes cereal

DIRECTIONS

1. Line a large baking sheet with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a heat proof bowl, combine chopped chocolate and butter.
3. Melt in a microwave for 30 seconds on high heat. Remove and stir for about 10 seconds until everything is melted. If you still see chunks of chocolate and/or butter, heat in the microwave again in 10 second intervals, stirring well in between, until melted and smooth.
4. OR, melt over a pot of barely simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the surface of the water. Stir occasionally while the steam gently melts the ingredients (this takes around 5 minutes).
5. After melting the chocolate and butter mix, add your cornflakes while it's still warm. Stir to coat all of the cornflakes in chocolate.
6. Using 2 spoons or a large ice cream scoop, portion the chocolate covered cornflakes into cookies and place on your prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all of the chocolate covered cornflakes are portioned out.
7. Cover the cookies with plastic wrap. Using the plastic wrap, gently press down on each cookie to pack the cornflakes together. Freeze cookies for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour until the cookies are chilled and solid.
