Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 1 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Peanut butter
- 4 cups Cereal (e.g., cornflakes or puffed rice)
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the sugar and honey to the melted butter and whisk until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble. Let it simmer gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 5
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal in a large mixing bowl. Gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated. If desired, mix in chocolate chips at this stage.
Step 6
Scoop spoonfuls of the cereal mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into cookie-sized mounds. Press gently with the back of the spoon to flatten slightly if needed.
Step 7
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for quicker setting.
Step 8
Once set, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
