Inspired by the infamous Momofuku Milk Bar cookies, I recreated a vegan version that is closest to the original recipe! I have seen so many different attempts at these milk bar cookies and some recipes either nail it or have revised a few ingredients before perfecting these ooey-gooey, irresistible cookies. Well lucky for you, I have found the perfect recipe that will not disappoint! Grab your cooking gloves because we are about to make the best cookies you’ve ever had.
Alternative ways to make this recipe:
Instead of using cornflakes, you can use pretzels, caramel pieces, or any of your favorite cereal brands to add that yummy, crispy texture. Oatmeal is also a great choice if you want a healthier alternative.
