Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 cups cornflakes cereal
Instructions
- Heat Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, honey, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is melted and smooth, creating a glossy, well-blended syrup.
- Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt, ensuring the flavor is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Incorporate Cornflakes: Gently fold in the cornflakes cereal, being careful not to crush them, so each flake gets thoroughly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop clusters of the coated cornflakes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping them into small, bite-sized cookie clusters.
- Set Cookies: Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until they become firm and hold their shape.
- Enjoy and Store: Once the cookies have set, enjoy your no-bake Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use crunchy or creamy peanut butter based on your preference for texture.
- Ensure to fold the cornflakes gently to keep them as intact as possible for the best crunch.
- If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before shaping.
- These cookies are naturally gluten-free if using gluten-free certified cornflakes.
- For a different twist, try adding mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the mixture.
