Have you been searching high and low for the ultimate corn flake cookie? I thought not! But here it is anyway, straight off the back of the box of Target's Market Pantry Corn Flakes.  This is the cereal I bought for the Chunky Ice Cream Pie, so I'm glad to have another use for it.

Ultimate Corn Flake Cookies


The cookies are awesome, but I think they should call them The Ultimate Peanut Butter Corn Flake Cookies because they fall into the peanut butter cookie category for sure. You can make them as directed, in which case they are chewy with crunchy edges.

Or you can make them about half the size for little two-bite cookies. I kind of like the petite size better, plus they fit well into little tin tie bags for gift giving.

Here's the adapted recipe for Ultimate Corn Flake Cookies. I added some gram weights, increased the vanilla a little bit, used peanut butter chips instead of butterscotch and put a little sea salt on top just for fun. The original yield was 30 cookies (medium-ish).  For my first batch I made 18 (slightly large) and for my second batch I made about 40 (two-bite cookies).  Next time I'll probably shoot for 30, but we did like the large and small cookies.  I especially liked the small ones because they were crunchier.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 stick 114 grams unsalted butter, softened (but still slightly firm)
  • ½ cup sugar 100 grams
  • ⅓ cup firmly packed brown sugar 65 grams
  • ½ cup 128 grams peanut butter (I used extra crunchy)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup 130 grams all-purpose flour
  • About 1 cup corn flakes cereal crushed after measuring (30 grams)
  • ½ cup peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large mixing bowl, beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter and beat until well mixed, then add the egg and mix on low to medium low speed until well mixed, scraping sides of bowl often.
  • Beat in the salt and baking soda until evenly distributed, then add the flour and stir until low until almost fully incorporated. Stir in the cereal and chips.
  • With a medium size cookie scoop, scoop out about 20 balls of dough. If you are using a small scoop, you should get about 30 (as per the recipe). If you are not using a scoop, just use heaping tablespoons.
  • Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the cookies are brown around the edges.

    That cookie caught my eye when you said corn flakes! I am getting into the State Fair baking mode and I want to come up with a new CCC. However, I am entering the plain CCC contest so no nuts or "unusual" ingredients. I am going to scan your CCC recipes for ideas!

    Sue, I hope you like both of the recipes. I was really happy with those muffins. The cake's good too, but I haven't made it in a while.

    You seem to be really good at using up ingredients that might otherwise go stale. I suppose having a recipe on the box as a jumping off point didn’t hurt but you must have a second sense for that which is worth trying.
    I bought ingredients today to make the raspberry white chip muffins you posted recently and the potluck German chocolate cake! Lots of baking ahead for me!!
