Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 1 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Peanut butter
- 4 cups Cereal (e.g., cornflakes or puffed rice)
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sugar and honey to the melted butter and whisk until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble. Let it simmer gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter until fully incorporated and smooth.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal in a large mixing bowl. Gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated. If desired, mix in chocolate chips at this stage.
Scoop spoonfuls of the cereal mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into cookie-sized mounds. Press gently with the back of the spoon to flatten slightly if needed.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for quicker setting.
Once set, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
