KIHEI GOLDEN SANDS HAWAIIAN COOKIES
"This is indeed a simple cookie. It's like a shortbread in texture - buttery and soft, made without eggs. The cornflakes are the "sand" part. You need to grind them to sandlike crumbs and roll the cookies in them before baking. For this task, a blender or food processor works better than the old-fashioned method of putting the flakes in a bag and beating them with a rolling pin. I also suggest butter, not margarine, as the taste is dependent on a true butter flavor."
This recipe originally appeared in the Honolulu Star Advertiser newspaper in the early 1980's
1 pound butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
6 cups corn flakes, ground to fine crumbs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in vanilla.
Sift together flour and baking soda; add to sugar mixture.
Form dough into small balls; roll in crumbs. Place on cookie sheet and flatten to a half-dollar size.
Bake 15 minutes, until a light brown.
Makes about 4 dozen
