Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, your choice!)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups cornflakes (lightly crushed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (if using unsalted peanut butter)
Equipment Needed
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or spoon for mixing
- Cookie sheet
- Parchment paper (optional, but I love using it for easy clean-up)
- Baking spatula or wooden spoon
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s important to get that preheating done ahead of time, as it ensures your cookies bake evenly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. I like to use a whisk for this—there’s just something satisfying about blending these ingredients smoothly. Once combined, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if you’re using unsalted peanut butter. The aroma of peanut butter and vanilla together is absolutely divine!
