Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups Cornflakes cereal
- 1 cup Corn Syrup (light)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Peanut Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1/4 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 tsp Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- Prepare Cornflakes: Measure out 6 cups of cornflakes into a large mixing bowl, being careful not to crush the cereal pieces. Set this aside to maintain their crisp texture.
- Dissolve Sugar and Syrup: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of corn syrup and 1 cup of sugar. Stir occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture is smooth and syrupy.
- Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 cup of peanut butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform and creamy without lumps.
- Mix with Cornflakes: Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the cornflakes. Gently fold using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to coat each flake evenly without breaking them.
- Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, scoop small portions of the coated cornflake mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently flatten each mound to the shape of a cookie. Let them cool completely at room temperature till firm.
- Prepare Chocolate Drizzle: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Finish and Serve: Once the cookies have set and hardened, use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate over each cookie. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature before serving or storing.
Notes
- Handle the cornflakes gently to keep them intact and crunchy.
- Cooling the cookies completely is essential for them to harden properly.
- The vegetable oil helps smooth the chocolate for easier drizzling.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to preserve freshness.
- For a nuttier flavor, use natural or crunchy peanut butter.
