These old fashioned Peanut Butter Cornflake cookies have 6 simple ingredients and come together quickly only using a microwave

 These bring back sweet memories of my childhood, it seems like they were at every elementary school party we had. Since they are super simple to make and made with mostly pantry staples we made them often at home as well. Cornflake cookies and Rice Krispy Treats were the two things my mother loved ..Inexpensive to make and Easy. It was a win win all around.

What you will need to make these Peanut Buter Cornflakes cookies:

• Cornflakes -Plain not frosted , the store brand is fine
• Light Corn Syrup
• Granulated Sugar
• Peanut Butter – I used a smooth Peanut butter, I am scared a honey roasted would add more sweetness
• Vanilla Extracts
• Salt
• Wax Paper
• Cooking spray
• Mixing bowls
• Measuring spoons and cups
• Microwave

Let’s make some cookies

Before you start making the cookies line a cookie sheet with wax paper and spray it with a little cooking spray. Pour the cornflakes in a large mixing bow and set aside . In a microwave safe bowl mix together the corn syrup , sugar and peanut butter . Microwave it for a total of 3 minutes , stirring every so often. Once the granulated sugar is completely dissolved it is done.

Add the vanilla and salt and stir until combined.

Pour the mixture over the cornflakes and coat them evenly.

Drop the cornflake mixture by the spoonful on the wax paper. Allow it to cool and set up .

These will need to be stored in an air tight container.
