Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 11 ounces butterscotch chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 5 cups cornflakes cereal
Instructions
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized, heatproof bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and peanut butter.
Melt the mixture using a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cornflakes.
Pour the melted butterscotch and peanut butter mixture over the cornflakes and gently toss until all the cornflakes are evenly coated.
Using two spoons, scoop out heaping spoonfuls of the mixture and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet to form individual cookies.
Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for 20 minutes until firm.
Once set, remove the cookies from the baking sheet and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
