Cornflake Cookies
My mom made these cookies a lot when we were kids. Chewy, crunchy, sweet, and so addictive. It was hard to eat just one!
The cornflakes hold up well so when you bite in it offers a crunchy and chewy texture. They certainly one of a kind. We will never turn down peanut butter cornflake cookies in this house.
Can I Make These Cookies On The Stovetop
Absolutely! I just wanted to use the saute feature on the Instant Pot for ease. I loved how quick these cookies came together.
But, if you don’t own an Instant Pot go ahead and just heat the mixture on the stove and follow the same instructions!
How To Make
Step 1: Start by turning your Instant Pot on to the saute feature. Then mix in your peanut butter, granulated sugar and corn syrup.
Step 2: With a wooden spoon you will continuously mix the mixture until it thins up and begins to boil.
Step 3: Once it has boiled, and thinner, you will remove from heat, add in vanilla and cornflakes and mix until well combined.
Step 4: With spoons, you will scoop out your cookies and place on wax paper or even aluminum foil to allow them to set up.
How Long Do These Cookies Need To Set Up
This no bake cornflake cookies recipe takes only about 10 minutes to set up. It is a thicker consistency so once you spoon out your cornflake candy it will harden up a bit and you can serve.
The longer the cookies set the harder they will get, which offers a more chewy texture.
