Cornflake Peanut Butter Cookies (No Bake)
18 cookies
Chewy, crispy, sweet and salty peanut butter Cornflake Cookies are the easiest no bake cookie recipe ever, and a crowd pleasing favorite.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (160g) light corn syrup see note 1
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter optional
- ½ cup (120g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups (85g) cornflake cereal
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over low-medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, butter and peanut butter. Mix with a spatula and bring to a boil. Once it boils, immediately remove from the heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
- GENTLY fold in the cornflakes so you don’t break them.
- Get a small oxo cookie scoop, spray it with non stick spray and use it to scoop out cookies onto the parchment paper and gently flatten them if desired.
- Allow the cookies to set for 30 minutes.
Notes
- If desired, replace the corn syrup with ½ cup of mini marshmallows.
- Feel free to mix in ¼ cup of mini chocolate chips or sweetened coconut flakes. Sprinkles also add a festive touch.
- Avoid using all-natural peanut butter (the kind that needs to be stirred).
- These cookies work well with other light cereals, such as Rice Krispies or Chex.
- Don't forget to spray the cookie scoop with oil. The mixture will be sticky, and this will help immensely!
