If you’re in search of a quick and delightful treat that requires minimal effort, look no further than No-Bake Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies. In this article, I’ll guide you through the steps of creating these effortless yet delectable cookies that are sure to become a favorite in your repertoire.
1. Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies ( No Bake )
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups cornflakes
Instructions
Begin by measuring out 6 cups of cornflakes into a large mixing bowl. Set aside; these will form the base of your no-bake cookies.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and light corn syrup. Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
Once the sugar and corn syrup have combined, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cornflakes in the mixing bowl. Gently fold the mixture, ensuring that all the cornflakes are well coated with the sweet peanut butter goodness.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cornflake mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper. You can shape them into rounds or use the back of the spoon to create clusters.
Let the cookies sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until they are fully set. The cooling process allows the cookies to firm up, making them easier to handle and ensuring a delightful chewy texture.
Once the No-Bake Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies have set, they are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them on a decorative platter or store them in an airtight container for later indulgence.
Get creative with your no-bake cookies by adding optional ingredients such as mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of melted chocolate over the top. Besides, you also feel free to experiment with different shapes and sizes for your cookies.
With the classic combination of peanut butter and cornflakes, these cookies offer a satisfying crunch and a rich, sweet flavor. Whether you’re pressed for time or simply want to enjoy a hassle-free baking experience, these no-bake cookies are a go-to option for a quick and delightful treat.
