Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Melt Butter and Sugar: In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter and white sugar over low heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Add Peanut Butter: Stir in the creamy peanut butter until the mixture is uniform and glossy, ensuring the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
  3. Mix in Cornflakes: Remove the pot from heat and gently fold in the fresh cornflakes, making sure they are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture without breaking them too much.
  4. Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them out to allow cooling.
  5. Cool and Set: Let the cookies cool at room temperature until firm. They can be enjoyed warm, but will hold shape better once cooled completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can toast the cornflakes lightly before mixing.
  • Adding vanilla extract enhances the overall taste but it is optional.
  • You can substitute white sugar with brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain crispness for up to 5 days.
