Hi im wondering what else can u use other than coconut thanks
Nicole
Didn’t say where to add coconut, so forgot to add, also didn’t say to leave extra cornflakes until near end of recipe, had none left to roll in. Probably my fault for not reading recipe thoroughly before making.
Jody
Just made these, yumo reminds me of baking days with my Mum.
Dorothy young
Can these cornflake biscuits be frozen?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Dorothy, yes then can x
Kylie
Mum always used to make these but never ever used chocolate chips.. why is it everyone feels the need to add chocolate chips?? Would omitting the choc chips require any adjustment?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Kylie, you can certainly leave them out if you wish.
Megan
Would it be possible to leave out the sugar or use a sugar alternative?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Megan,
I haven’t tried leaving the sugar out/sugar alternatives before I’m sorry xx
Deb hart
I used tin of condensed milk once, add that to Ur butter, it turns out very soft in the texture and not to sweet.

We made them with currants instead of sultanas and added a little lemon essence to the recipe and they were delicious. These biscuits were one of our favourites when we were children.
Lauren Matheson
What a great idea! I’m so glad you enjoyed them x
Claire Giumelli
