The Amish like their cornflakes. A lot.
The other night I was at a restaurant in Cincinnati (more about this place soon) and on the dessert menu were cornflake cookies. That got me thinking about some of the cornflake cookie recipes I've seen in Amish cookbooks and in Amish communities. Judging by how much I see cornflakes when I visit Amish communities I think it is safe to say that the Amish like their cornflakes. Amazing how cornflakes can help crunch up a cookie. Take a look at this amazing cookie!
Mmmmm, amazing cornflake cookie!
