Ingredients
– 65 grams (1 cup) cereal such as corn flakes, roughly crushed
– 56 grams (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
– 26 grams (2 tablespoons) granulated sugar
– 140 grams (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
– 126 grams (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) brown sugar
– 100 grams (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 large egg, room temperature
– 200 grams (1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons) all-purpose flour
– 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 175 grams (1 cup) white chocolate, coarsely chopped
– 4 cooked salted egg yolks, coarsely chopped
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F and prepare a small baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2-Second Step: In a bowl, toss 65 grams of roughly crushed cereal with 56 grams of melted unsalted butter and 26 grams of granulated sugar until everything is evenly coated.
3-Third Step: Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, watching closely until it turns golden brown. If you’re using raw salted egg yolks, chop them and mix them in at this stage for added flavor.
4-Fourth Step: Remove from the oven and let the caramelized cereal cool completely on the sheet, which takes about 10 minutes. This step creates that crunchy contrast you’ll love in the final cookies.
5-Fifth Step: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking, and in a mixing bowl, cream together 140 grams of room-temperature unsalted butter, 126 grams of brown sugar, and 100 grams of granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy this usually takes 2 to 3 minutes with a hand mixer.
6-Sixth Step: Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 large room-temperature egg to the bowl, mixing until fully incorporated for about 1 minute, which helps bind the dough.
7-Seventh Step: In a separate bowl, whisk together 200 grams of all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
8-Eighth Step: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the cookies tough.
9-Ninth Step: Gently fold in the cooled caramelized cereal, the 4 chopped cooked salted egg yolks, and most of the 175 grams of coarsely chopped white chocolate, reserving some chocolate for topping this keeps the flavors balanced and adds those yummy chunks.
10-Tenth Step: Portion the dough into 10 equal balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for spreading.
11-Eleventh Step: Press the reserved white chocolate chunks on top of each dough ball for a pretty finish, then bake at 350Β°F for 11 to 13 minutes until the edges are caramelized and the centers look set.
12-Final Step: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

π₯ Choose pre-cooked salted egg yolks for convenience, or bake raw ones with the cereal to infuse deeper flavor without extra steps.
βοΈ Freeze extra dough balls on a tray before baking, then store in a bag for up to a monthβbake straight from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to time.
π― Adjust sugar levels to taste, and consider swapping some white chocolate for dark to balance the savory egg yolk with less sweetness.
