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 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.
- Add Peanut Butter: Stir in the creamy peanut butter until the mixture is uniform and glossy, ensuring the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
- 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.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them out to allow cooling.
- 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.
