Submitted by vrvrvr

"These cookies have a subtle peanut taste and a little bit of crackle from the corn flakes."

• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 60 cookies

ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened

3. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
4. Add flour and baking soda.
5. Stir in corn flakes until incorporated.
6. Roll dough into 1" balls, place two inches apart on cookie sheet. (If dough is too tacky, add a little more flour.)
7. Press down balls with fork (dip it in flour if need be) to make a criss-cross pattern.

AMAZING! I never would have thought to put corn flakes in cookies, but I love the subtle crunch. Will make again soon.

From 6/07 I don't much like peanut butter cookies but my dh does and I had some peanut butter to use up. I liked the subtle texture that the corn flakes gave the cookies. Updating 7/13 Just now making them again. Now I don't eat corn so I substituted Rice Krispies and they turned out just as good. Thought I would share the idea.
