Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (170 for fan forced) and heavily grease two large baking trays.
2. Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy (aka light and creamy) then beat in the vanilla essence.
3. Whisk the eggs then gradually add to butter mixture while keeping the electric mixer on high (avoid curdling by having the eggs at room temperature and adding to the butter mix gradually as it beats).
4. Fold in the flour and continue to beat with the electric mixer until well combined.
5. Lightly crush 3 cups of the cornflakes, then fold these into the mixture with the chocolate chips and sultanas using a wooden spoon, until evenly dispersed.
6. Drop dessert spoon sized balls of the mixture into the remaining uncrushed cornflakes and roll until coated, then press lightly onto the baking tray.
7. Bake in moderate preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until just golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the trays for 15-20mins before removing to wire racks (should be still warm when removing).
