Holiday Bakes: Cornflakes Cookies

The original name for this cookie is "Melting Moments".
It doesn't really melt in your mouth though, I mean, cornflakes can hardly melt in our mouths, can they? Its texture is more crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. So I'm not quite sure why they're called melting moments. Cornflakes cookie is a much more suitable name and this cookie is a popular favorite back home during the holidays.
