Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Corn flakes cereal
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Light corn syrup
- 0.75 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar and light corn syrup over medium heat. Stir constantly with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture begins to bubble.
Once bubbling, remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
Place the corn flakes cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the corn flakes.
Gently fold the corn flakes into the mixture using a spatula, making sure that all the cereal is evenly coated.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming individual cookies.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
Once set, transfer the cookies to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy!
