Instructions

- Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

- For extra crunch, sprinkle a few extra crushed cornflakes on top before baking.
- You can substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips for a flavor variation.
