Snow Cookies! Aka cornflakes meringue/macaroon... :-)

Yay! First time baking hubby's Hari Raya favourite, snow cookies! Or commonly known as cornflakes meringues/macaroons... The recipe belongs to his aunt and I modified it a little by topping it with strawberry choc chips... Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside :-)

4 egg whites
300g fine sugar
2 tbsp corn flour
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
100g crunched cornflakes
50g chopped almonds
Chocolate chips / Strawberry chips / etc...
55-60pcs mini cupcake casings

1) Preheat oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
2) Whisk egg whites till stiff peaks form & whisk in sugar gradually.
3) Whisk in corn flour & vanilla powder.
4) Gently fold in cornflakes & almonds, mixing thoroughly.
(You can add in chocolate chips at this point too..)
5) Scoop 1tsp of cornflakes mixture into mini cupcake casings & top with your desired toppings.
6) Bake for 20mins until slightly browned.
7) Serve when cooled :-)

Happy trying!
