Method
 

Baking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Incorporate the egg yolks and vanilla extract into the mixture, mixing on medium speed until pale and fluffy.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the old-fashioned oats and cornflakes until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  10. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of the cookies before they cool completely.
