Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 cups cornflakes
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large saucepan, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly to incorporate the flavor.
- Mix in Cornflakes: Gently fold in the cornflakes, carefully coating each flake with the peanut butter mixture without crushing them.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping them into clusters resembling cookies.
- Set the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes so they firm up and hold their shape.
- Melt Chocolate: While cookies cool, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until completely melted and smooth.
- Decorate Cookies: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies evenly to add a rich chocolate finish.
- Final Setting: Let the chocolate set for an additional 10-15 minutes before serving, ensuring the chocolate firmens properly.
Notes
- Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter depending on your texture preference.
- Be gentle when folding in the cornflakes to avoid breaking them.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Adjust sweetness by reducing sugar or substituting with a sugar alternative if preferred.
