No Bake Cornflake Cookies

No Bake Cornflake Cookies

Ingredients:

6 cups Corn Flakes cereal

1 cup light corn syrup

1 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

• Place the cornflakes in a large bowl and set aside. 
• In a medium saucepan, combine the corn syrup, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until the mixture just begins to bubble. Immediately remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until smooth. Pour the mixture over the corn flakes and use a large spatula to fold the mixture together.
• Once the cornflakes are well coated, use a large cookie scoop or two spoons to portion the mixture out onto wax or parchment paper. Work quickly to prevent the mixture from firming up. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Servings: 18 large cookies (or more if smaller in size)

Notes:

This recipe works with almond butter, sunflower butter, and other nut butters. 
Use a good creamy shelf peanut butter like Skippy or Jiff. Natural peanut butters are too oily for this recipe.
You can substitute Cornflakes with Frosted Flakes cereal as well. I do it all the time ;)
Optional chocolate drizzle - Melt the chocolate chips in a seal-able bag. Cut the corner of bag to drizzle the melted chocolate over cookies; let harden.
