Corn flakes Cookies

I love to bake. Though my love for baking started years ago, I began baking only after landing in the US. It has been growing as a passion over these years and that is the reason I wanted to be a part of this baking group, Baking Partners. Last month, we baked Julia child's Reine de Saba,  and for this month it is the cookies. We had to pick from the Ultimate chocolate cream cheese cookies,  Cornflakes cookies and Homemade Oreo cookies or can try all the cookies if we want to. Though I wanted to try all the cookies, I didn't get time because of so many different things. I could only one and I chose this cornflakes cookies. The cookies turned out awesome.Thanks to Priya and Swathi for this recipe which is selected from the book, Baking: Commonsense by Murdoch books. 
Corn flakes covering the cookies gives the crunch required on the outside and it is soft on the inside with a mild coconut flavor and loaded with raisins and cranberries. Yum!! 

I just halved the recipe and it yielded around 12 cookies(regular size) and 2 little cookies (I made for my son without the cornflakes) and also I added some extra cranberries along with the raisin except that I didn't change anything else much in the recipe.
