Butter Crunch Cookies

I am trying out different cookie recipes
to give to my in-laws
for Xmas.
That'll be their Xmas gifts from me.

This butter crunch cookies
are simple to make
and delicious!
It's so easy...
almost idiot proof.
Your kids could do this by themselves!

I'm not a butter cookie person myself
coz when I eat too many of them,
it makes me sick.
But these do not.
The cornflakes and pecans
give it a good crunch.

Recipe taken from Tastes of Home magazine.
