Cherry Dot Cookies

by Kori Ellis on November 23rd, 2008

Corns flakes aren’t just a terrific breakfast cereal; they can also be a key ingredient to yummy recipes. Every year, Kellogg’s receives thousands of requests for recipes, so they have issued a collection of recipes made from Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and other cereals. This is one of my favorites.

These cherry dot cookies are great for the holidays or anytime!
