When I was a kid my friends got me hooked on theses cookies. I am going to make them today for the holidays. We use to eat tigercookies during camping trips.

Very good! I added some cinnamon (about 2t) to the dry mixture, which added a nice twist.

My mom made these years ago, when the recipe was on the box. I remember we loved these. Then we lost the recipe. So I can't wait to try them as an adult. Thanks!!! I do remember we did not get them to swirl, but still tasted good!

I had this recipe for years and finally decided to make it this month, November, 2008. Bought the Frosted Corn Flakes. Came home from the store and was unhappy to find I did NOT have any chocolate chips, as I had thought. I USED BUTTER-SCOTCH CHIPS and the cookies turned out WONDERFUL. I called them BUTTERSCOTCH CRISPS. It didn't bother me that I didn't "stripe" the cookies. I also let them cool on brown paper. Crisp and wonderful.

Why did I try these?? They are not "pretty", not even interesting looking....Perhaps I used too much chocolate (expensive and tasty chocolate!)and swirled too much; however they seemed to be a waste of time and ingredients. I'm disappointed.

This is the original recipe that appeared on Kellogg's sugar frosted flakes in 1971. My 3 year old son (at the time) loved these cookies and asked for them constantly. I saved the recipe but couldn’t find it. They were delicious and very crunchy, not soggy. I baked them every time the family finished a batch. We all loved the recipe.

These are different. I'm not sure I like the cereal flakes, and I couldn't get the chocolate to streak in the batter. I have had no complaints about them, but they seem to need something. I'm thinking of omitting the melted chocolate and adding mini chips and calling them leopard cookies instead. I have to definitely try again, before completely rejecting this recipe.
