Ingredients
- 4 cups Cornflakes
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and light corn syrup over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Step 3
Cook the mixture until it begins to bubble and the sugar has fully dissolved, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Step 5
Add the cornflakes to the saucepan, gently folding them into the peanut butter mixture until all the flakes are evenly coated.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Work quickly, as the mixture will begin to firm as it cools.
Step 7
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they hold their shape.
Step 8
Once set, transfer the cookies to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy!
