No Bake Cornflake Cookies
Description
This recipe mixes granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and butter gently over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves, careful not to boil. After removing from heat, creamy peanut butter is stirred in to create a smooth, rich coating. The mixture is then combined with corn flakes, taking care to preserve their flakiness.
Portioned with a cookie scoop onto parchment-lined surfaces, the cookies are left to cool and set into clusters. The final cookies provide a contrast between the soft, sweet peanut butter binding and the crisp corn flakes, finished with a shiny surface from the sugar syrup.
No baking makes these an accessible treat for quick preparation, and their flavor balances sweetness with a nutty richness. They work well as a portable snack or casual dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar white
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 3 cups corn flakes
Instructions
- Combine sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a small sauce pan and melt together over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves (do not boil mixture).
- Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter.
- Pour peanut butter mixture over cornflakes and mix until combined (be careful not to crunch up the corn flakes too much).
- Line a cookie sheet or counter with parchment paper and use a 1.5 - 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to create cookie balls.
