Ingredients
- 3 cups cornflakes
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- Pour cornflakes in a large heat-proof bowl. Set it aside.
- Add sugar, honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract to a saucepan.
- Set saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously so the sugar doesn’t burn, for about 3 to 5 minutes. Once the mixture starts bubbling, remove from the heat.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cornflakes.
- Use a rubber spatula to carefully fold the peanut butter into the cornflakes, making sure you don’t crush them.
- Once the mixture is evenly distributed, work quickly to scoop the cornflakes onto the prepared baking sheet in 2-inch sized cookies. I like to use an ice cream or cookie scoop to get uniform cookies.
- Let cookies sit on the baking sheet until they have cooled and the mixture has hardened.

Notes
- Most other recipes call for corn syrup instead of honey. You can easily substitute ½ cup corn syrup for the honey.
- Make sure to work quickly so the mixture doesn’t harden in the bowl before you form it into the cookie shapes.
