Ingredients
- 11 ounces butterscotch chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 5 cups cornflakes cereal
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium-sized, heatproof bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and peanut butter.
Step 3
Melt the mixture using a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, add the cornflakes.
Step 5
Pour the melted butterscotch and peanut butter mixture over the cornflakes and gently toss until all the cornflakes are evenly coated.
Step 6
Using two spoons, scoop out heaping spoonfuls of the mixture and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet to form individual cookies.
Step 7
Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for 20 minutes until firm.
Step 8
Once set, remove the cookies from the baking sheet and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
