Corn Flake Cookies
Description
These cookies start with boiling together sugar and corn syrup until just boiling, then stirring in creamy peanut butter and vanilla to create a smooth, sticky base. Cornflakes and crushed kettle brand potato chips are then tossed into this mixture, providing a contrast between the sweet, nutty peanut butter and the salty crunch from chips and cereal.
The mixture is dropped by spoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets and left to set and cool at room temperature. No baking is needed, which preserves the crisp texture of the cornflakes and potato chips, offering a unique take on peanut butter cookies in a clustered form. Optional sprinkles can be added immediately after dropping for decoration.
The finished cookies balance sweetness, saltiness, and crunch and should be stored in an airtight container to maintain texture. Crushing the potato chips to about the size of cornflakes helps maintain uniform texture and mixing.
