Ingredients
- 4 cups Corn flakes cereal
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and light corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to bubble and the sugar fully dissolves (about 3-4 minutes).
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4
Place the corn flakes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the corn flakes and gently fold with a spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 5
Using two spoons, scoop the mixture into small mounds and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Work quickly before the mixture cools and hardens.
Step 6
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until they are firm and set.
Step 7
Once set, transfer the cookies to an airtight container for storage or enjoy them immediately!
