Whip up a batch of Grama’s No-Bake Corn Flake Peanut Butter Cookies for a nostalgic treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. These cookies combine the crunch of corn flakes with the creamy richness of peanut butter, all held together by a sweet syrup. Perfect for when you need a quick sweet fix without turning on the oven!
Ingredients:
- ½ cup white sugar, for sweetness
- ½ cup light corn syrup, for binding
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for richness
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter, for nutty flavor
- 3 cups cornflakes, for crunch
Instructions:
- Preparation: Start by lining a baking sheet with waxed paper for easy cookie removal.
- Syrup Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the corn syrup and sugar. Bring it to a boil, allowing the sugar to dissolve completely.
- Peanut Butter Blend: Add the peanut butter and butter to the syrup mixture, stirring until smooth and fully incorporated. Then, remove the pan from the heat.
- Cornflakes Tossing: Place the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the hot peanut butter mixture over the cornflakes and gently toss to coat each flake without crushing them.
- Cookie Shaping: Using a spoon, scoop and drop dollops of the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet.
- Chilling Time: Refrigerate the cookies for a few minutes to set, turning them into the perfect chewy and crunchy treat.
Serving Suggestion: These cookies are best served cold as a delightful snack or dessert. They can be a hit at potlucks, a sweet snack for kids, or a quick dessert for unexpected guests.
