My kids love the delicious peanut butter flavor and the chewy goodness of these easy Corn Flake cookies.

I can’t get over how fast I can whip up a batch of these easy drop cookies. It’s really so easy, but the resulting cookie is totally addictive.

I usually turn to my trusty Corn Flake cookies recipe whenever I find out I need to take a dessert to an event at the last minute.

It’s funny how often I’m asked if I could donate a dessert the day before an event at church or school!

I like to oblige whenever I can, and I’ve often made these yummy no bake cookies on those occasions.

No Bake Corn Flake Cookies

I typically turn to Corn Flakes cereal when making these cookies, but you can experiment with other similar cereals too.

Oh, and these cookies are not to be confused with my famous peanut butter no bake cookies and my chocolate no bakes which both use oatmeal. They are some of my most-loved recipes.

Add the 4 cups of Corn Flakes to a medium bowl and set aside.
In a medium saucepan combine the sugar and the syrup. Over medium-high heat, while stirring, bring the mixture to a boil. Remove for the heat and add the peanut butter and the vanilla and stir until blended.
Pour the mixture over the Corn Flakes and stir until all the Corn Flakes are coated.

My mother used to make a cookie similar to this back in the 1950s or 1960s. I remember helping her make a shortbread crust which got baked, then melting butterscotch morsels over the crust and spreading this cornflake mixture over it. Do you happen to have a recipe for this? It was printed in the Sunday Parade magazine as I recall. Thanks.

  Just in case anyone else is wondering this same question…I only had dark corn syrup as well and they came out just as good as when I’ve used light corn syrup!

Super easy, and super good! A little too good, perhaps… I can’t seem to stop eating them. I had to put them up in the cabinet so they wouldn’t tempt me every time I walked in the kitchen.
