Peanut Butter Chews No Bake Cookies
Last year, I was gifted with a plate of these cookies for Christmas. I couldn't stop eating them! They are chewy with loads of peanut butter flavor. These are a no-bake three-ingredient cookie that reminds me of Rice Krispie treats. I had dipped a few of these in melted milk chocolate, and loved them. I planned to drizzle the rest of the cookies with chocolate, the following day. When I went to finish my work, the cookies were all eaten, by my hungry men and their friends. They loved them.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar see notes
- 1 cup Karo light corn syrup see notes
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy or chunky
- 6 cups cornflakes or other crispy corn cereal
- Good quality milk or dark chocolate for dipping or drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Place the cornflakes into a large bowl; set aside.
- Combine sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter in a large saucepan. Heat until mixture comes to a boil around the edges of the pan, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour over cornflakes. Stir gently, until thoroughly coated.
- Drop cookies, using about 2 tablespoons for each, onto waxed paper. You can use a 2-inch cookie scoop. Let cool. Store in airtight container.
- Once the cookies have cooled and set, you can either dip the bottom of each cookie in melted chocolate (my favorite way) or you can drizzle it over each cookie.
Notes
These cookies are very sweet. I plan to reduce the sugar and corn syrup by 1/4 cup each.
