They are a chocolate-based cookie (or biscuits as they\u2019re referred to there!) made from a combination of Flour, Cocoa Powder, Butter, Sugar, Vanilla, and the secret ingredient \u2013 wheat-based breakfast cereal! It\u2019s a unique treat that is a fun play on the more traditional Chocolate Cookies that taste great. They\u2019re a perfect treat for something a little different, with a unique flavor and texture<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 has-custom-font-size\" style=\"font-size:12px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"#jump-here\">Jump to Recipe<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classic Afghan Cookies use Corn Flakes or Weetbix for a light, crispy texture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">The texture of Afghan Cookies is truly unique, and that is due to the inclusion of wheat-based cereal in the batter. In fact, the cereal is the primary ingredient in the cookie, as we use more of it than we do the Flour. Another option to use is Weetbix, which is a hugely popular breakfast cereal in Australia and NZ. Somewhat difficult to obtain in other parts of the world, so Corn Flakes is a great alternative<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">The light, crunchy texture of the Corn Flakes translates exceptionally well to the Cookies. It greats a great flaky texture that keeps the cookie wonderful and light, not dense like your typical chocolate-based cookie. It makes these cookies quite Moorish, and you\u2019ll find it almost impossible to stop eating them at just one!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Because of the addition of corn flakes to the dish, it\u2019s not totally uncommon for Afghan Cookies to be eaten as a light breakfast, or mid-morning bite. It\u2019s \u2018almost\u2019 like you\u2019re eating breakfast in cookie form. So, they make for a perfect dish to eat breakfast on the run if you\u2019re commuting into work, or just don\u2019t have any time in the mornings to make your breakfast<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5483265561586305\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5483265561586305\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7869471218\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make perfect Afghan Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">This recipe is heavily inspired by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chelsea.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chelsea Sugar<\/a>, who publish many wonderful recipes using their great product. Don\u2019t worry, you can still make these Cookies if you can\u2019t get your hands on Chelsea sugar! It\u2019ll still taste great, we promise<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">So down to the cooking. This dish is exceptionally easy to make, and will yield a very generous number of Cookies \u2013 easily about 12 \u2013 15 depending on how you end up sizing out your cookies for baking<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">You can use a stand mixer if you like with this recipe, however there is minimal mixing required so it is just as easy to do by hand. You\u2019ll save a little bit of time if you use a mixer, but you\u2019re also generating more dishes for washing up. So, take your pick really!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Afghan Biscuits with Coffee\" class=\"wp-image-4502\" style=\"width:796px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-1-530x530.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-1-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-1-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Follow this recipe to create this amazing Cookie, perfect for morning tea with a cup of Coffee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">To make this recipe we begin by creaming the Sugar, Butter, and Vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Whisk these ingredients together until a smooth, light creamy mixture is formed. Then, sift the All Purpose Flour and Cocoa Powder into the mixture and fold it all in to combine. Add your Corn Flakes, mix through and you\u2019re done<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Yep, the batter is that easy to make! For the corn flakes you can crush them up if you like, however we prefer to keep them whole as it\u2019ll add a lighter texture to the Afghan Cookies in the result. For a denser cookie you can crush them up finer<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Ball them up and press down slightly on the cookies with the back of a fork before baking in the oven for 15 \u2013 20 minutes at 350F. Pressing down on the cookies slightly will help them form their shape before they are baked. This is a different approach to regular cookies, which melt and form their shape during the cooking process<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">The Corn Flakes will retain their texture during the cooking process, which means they will keep their shape much more than a regular cookie. So, we recommend shaping your Cookies before they go into the oven to bake<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">While the Cookies are baking, it\u2019s a great time to make your frosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Perhaps an even easier part of the recipe than making the dough is making the frosting. It\u2019s so easy to make! Simply combine the ingredients of Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Butter, and 1 tbsp. of Water into a bowl and mix well to combine<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Be sure to have the water piping hot \/ boiling before you add it. The heat will help to break down the other ingredients much quicker, forming the frosting. You will likely need more than 1 tbsp. of Water; we just recommend adding 1 tbsp. at a time. This process will help you to better control the thickness of the frosting without overdiluting it<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">You still want a relatively thick frosting; it doesn\u2019t need to be runny. So, once the frosting gets to a point where it is smooth, yet still holds it\u2019s shape, it has had enough water added. If you accidentally add too much water, you can thicken it back up by adding a little bit more Sugar<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Afghan Cookies with Walnuts\" class=\"wp-image-4503\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-2-530x530.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-2-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-2-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Afghan-Cookies-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Finishing your Afghan Cookies with Walnuts makes for a fantastic presentation and tastes great<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5483265561586305\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5483265561586305\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7869471218\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What gives Afghan Cookies their unique look is finishing them with a Walnut!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">It\u2019s such a fun presentation, and distinctive to the Afghan Cookie. No need to do anything fancy with the Walnuts, simply place a Walnut halve straight on top of the finished Cookie and it\u2019s ready to serve. Sure, you could skip this step if you want to, but is it really a genuine Afghan Cookie without the Walnut?<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">They add a lovely flavor and even more crunchy texture to the cookie too. Also, the Walnuts just look so darn appetizing on the cookies! No need for getting fancy with piping bags, or elaborate ingredients like gold leaf. No, just slap a Walnut on there and it\u2019s done!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">We encourage you to give these wonderful Cookie a try. They\u2019re a little bit different from the regular cookies you\u2019re used to, which is such a good thing! The lightness of the batter caused by the inclusion of Corn Flakes makes for a fun and unique twist that we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll love<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-pinterest wp-block-embed-pinterest\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Afghan Cookies\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=923730573595248490&#038;src=oembed\" height=\"608\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" ><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div id=\"wpzoom-block-details-171831508115919\" class=\"wp-block-wpzoom-recipe-card-block-details col-4 \">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"details-title\">Recipe Details<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"details-items\"><div class=\"detail-item detail-item-0\"><span class=\"detail-item-icon oldicon oldicon-food\"><\/span><span class=\"detail-item-label\">Servings<\/span><p class=\"detail-item-value\">4 &#8211; 8 people<\/p><\/div><div class=\"detail-item detail-item-1\"><span class=\"detail-item-icon oldicon oldicon-room-service\"><\/span><span class=\"detail-item-label\">Prep time<\/span><p class=\"detail-item-value\">10 minutes<\/p><\/div><div class=\"detail-item detail-item-2\"><span class=\"detail-item-icon oldicon oldicon-cook\"><\/span><span class=\"detail-item-label\">Cooking time<\/span><p class=\"detail-item-value\">15 minutes<\/p><\/div><div class=\"detail-item detail-item-3\"><span class=\"detail-item-icon dashicons dashicons-clock\"><\/span><span class=\"detail-item-label\">Total time<\/span><p class=\"detail-item-value\">25 minutes<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jump-here\">Afghan Cookies Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:15px\">\n<li>1 \u00bc cups All Purpose Flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bc cup Cocoa Powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 \u00bd cups of Corn Flakes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>200g Unsalted Butter (room temperature)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd cup Granulated Sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp.
