Granulated Sugar
3/4 cup
Peanut Butter
1 cup (all natural (just peanuts & salt))
Eggs
2
Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon
All-Purpose Flour
2 1/2 cups (generous)
Baking Soda
1 teaspoon
Corn Flakes
1 cup (finely crushed)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3
Add in the peanut butter, mixing well until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
4
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
6
Gently fold in the finely crushed corn flakes until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7
Using your hands, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them two inches apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour to make it easier to handle.
8
To create the classic criss-cross pattern, use a fork to press down each cookie ball, dipping the fork in flour if it sticks.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden brown around the edges.
10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
