I had never heard of "afghan cookies!"
Fellow dorm mom, Lois, introduced these delicious cookies to me, which seem to be "part of the everyday" to New Zealanders.
Afghan cookies are flavorful & chewy. The cornflakes give them a nice texture.

1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa
2 cups cornflakes

1. Cream the butter & sugar together until light & fluffy.
2. Sift together flour & cocoa.
3. Combine dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix well.
4. Fold in cornflakes.
5. Spoon dough in tablespoon-sized mounds on greased cookie sheet; gently pressing together.
6. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes in 350 degree oven or until set.

Best Mixer!
