Grandma's Flake Cookies image

My grandmother always has these cookies in the cookie jar. For a nut-free version, I use 1/2 c extra corn flakes. Can also sub bran flakes, wheat flakes, Total cereal, whatever you have on hand. Makes a very thin, crunchy but chewy cookie. One of my husband's favorites.
