Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 6 cups fresh cornflakes
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the butter and sugar: In a large pot over low heat, gently melt the butter and white sugar together, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add peanut butter: Stir in the creamy peanut butter until the mixture becomes homogeneous and smooth, ensuring the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
- Combine with cornflakes: Remove the pot from heat and gently fold in the fresh cornflakes, stirring carefully to coat each flake evenly without crushing them.
- Form cookies: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the coated cornflake mixture onto a parchment-lined tray, shaping them into small clusters.
- Set and cool: Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. They can be enjoyed warm if preferred, but will hold their shape better when cooled.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract with the peanut butter mixture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Use fresh, crispy cornflakes for the best texture.
- To make the cookies gluten-free, ensure your cornflakes are certified gluten-free.
