Ingredients

5 cups cornflake cereal
⅔ cup light corn syrup
¼ cup maple syrup
¾ cup white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set off to the side.
Pour the cornflake cereal in a large bowl and set off to the side.
5 cups cornflake cereal
In a medium saucepan pour in the corn syrup and the maple syrup. Warm on medium low heat, stirring occasionally until slightly bubbly, about 3-4 minutes.
⅔ cup light corn syrup, ¼ cup maple syrup
Turn off the heat and mix in the sugar and vanilla extract and stir well.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¾ cup white granulated sugar
Using a rubber spatula, mix in the peanut butter. The mixture will be very sticky.
1 cup creamy peanut butter
Pour the mixture over the reserved cornflakes and mix well.
Working quickly, using a 1 ½ Tablespoon cookie scoop or a Tablespoon, drop cookies onto your prepared baking sheet.
Let cookies set for 10-15 minutes and serve.

Notes

Storage:

To Store: Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They will last for up to a week.
To Freeze: You can freeze these cookies, wrapped in parchment paper and placed in an airtight container, for up to 3 months.

Tips:

Spray non-stick cooking spray over your parchment paper or wax paper. That way your cookies will slide right off when it is time to serve.
Lightly sprinkle water on your cookie scoop or spoon. Because this mixture is so sticky, the water will help prevent you from having the batter stuck to your utensils.
Have your cookie sheet prepped and placed where you want to work. As soon as you mix the cornflake cereal and the sauce together, they need to go on the cookie sheet. If you wait too long the mixture will harden and it will be difficult to work with.
