  • Author: Lusine Svetlana

Description

Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies are a delightful no-bake treat that combines the creamy richness of peanut butter with the satisfying crunch of cornflakes. Perfect for any occasion, these cookies are simple to make and require minimal ingredients, making them a favorite for busy days or impromptu dessert cravings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups corn flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and creamy peanut butter. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to boil.
  2. Add Vanilla and Cornflakes: Once the sugar mixture reaches a boil, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in vanilla extract until well combined. Add the corn flakes to the saucepan and gently fold them into the peanut butter mixture until evenly coated.
  3. Form Cookies: Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment or wax paper. Work quickly to shape them before the mixture begins to cool and harden.
  4. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the parchment or wax paper for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until set. Once cooled and firm, they are ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

Serving Tips:

  1. Presentation: Arrange the cookies on a decorative plate or serving tray for a pleasing presentation. You can sprinkle a dusting of powdered sugar on top for a touch of sweetness.
  2. Pairings: Serve these cookies with a glass of cold milk for a classic combination that enhances their peanut butter flavor.
  3. Garnish: For a festive touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies or sprinkle with colorful sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
  4. Gift Idea: Package the cookies in decorative boxes or bags tied with ribbon for a thoughtful homemade gift during holidays or special occasions.

Storage Tips:

  1. Room Temperature: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent the cookies from becoming stale.
  2. Refrigeration: If you prefer a firmer texture, you can refrigerate the cookies. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
  3. Freezing: These cookies freeze well. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
  4. Bring to Room Temperature: Before serving refrigerated or frozen cookies, allow them to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to regain their chewy texture.
  5. Separation: If storing cookies with layers separated by parchment or wax paper, ensure the layers are well-separated to prevent sticking.
