Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the salted butter with brown and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing until pale and airy.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the oats and cornflakes until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden, for chewiness aim for the shorter time.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
