Easy Cornflake Cookies

corn flakes cereal

corn syrup

sugar

salt

peanut butter*

vanilla extract

Place the cornflakes in a large bowl and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine the corn syrup, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until the mixture just begins to bubble. Immediately remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until smooth. Pour the mixture over the corn flakes and use a large spatula to fold the mixture together.

Once the cornflakes are well coated, use a large cookie scoop or two spoons to portion the mixture out onto wax or parchment paper. Work quickly to prevent the mixture from firming up. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Buddy the Elf Cookies (Haystacks Recipe)

¾ cups chow mein noodles

marshmallow bits (divided)

white chocolate chips

butterscotch chips

(red

chocolate syrup

M&Ms

Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

Combine the chow mein noodles and ½ cup of the marshmallow bits in a large bowl.

Place the white chocolate chips and butterscotch chips into a separate medium sized microwave safe bowl. Microwave in increments of 20 seconds, stirring in between intervals until completely melted. This usually takes about 2 minutes but you don’t want to overheat them so be sure to stop and stir every 20 seconds.

Pour the white chocolate chip mixture into the bowl with the chow mein noodles and marshmallow bits. Gently stir until everything is coated.

Use a spoon or large cookie scoop to drop a small handful of the mixture into mounds on a sheet pan to set.

Drizzle each mound with about 1 teaspoon of chocolate syrup, 1 teaspoon of rainbow sprinkles, remaining marshmallow bits, and festive M&Ms (optional).

Let the mounds set completely, about 1 hour at room temperature, before plating and serving.
