Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups (c) vegetable oil
• 0.5 Cups (c) brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 Cups (c) white sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1 Cup (c) all-purpose flour
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) baking soda
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 0.33 Cups (c) rolled oats
• 1 Cup (c) cornflakes cereal
• 0.33 Cups (c) semisweet chocolate chips

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will ensure the sugars are fully dissolved, leading to a better texture in the cookies.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, and whisk until fully incorporated. This will help emulsify the mixture, creating a uniform batter.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
5. Gently fold in the rolled oats, cornflakes, and semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. The cornflakes should remain mostly intact to provide a delightful crunch.
6. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This resting time helps the cookies set and develop their full flavor.
