Chewy and crunchy make a good cookie. I made these for forthcoming company. I anticipate a thank you or two for making these. Thanks for the post.

These tasted good, but like another reviewer said, they flattened out too much. The uncooked dough was better than the finished product. I'll keep looking for somethng that holds it's shape.

I made these today for Christmas. They were really good except that they spread too much. They were so flat that they were almost not chewy. They were definitely crunchy and the centers were more chewy. I had to lower my oven temperature to 325 F and bake them for 8 minutes and they still came out really brown and crunchy around the edges. The corn flakes really help with the chewyness. I topped them with 1/2 a marashino cherry. If anyone has any suggestions to prevent them from flattening while baking, let me know.
